Obituary :
John Robert Wittmeyer
peacefully entered the presence of his Savior, Jesus Christ on April 20, 2026.
He was 75 years old.
John proudly served his country in the United States
Air Force as both an instructor pilot in the T-38 and a member of the 96th Test
Wing at Eglin Airforce Base. He carried that love of flying into a long and
successful career as a commercial pilot and instructor for Delta Air Lines and
World Airways before retirement.
While aviation was one
of John's great passions, his greatest adventure was his 48 year marriage to
his beloved wife, Susan Koraly Wittmeyer. Together they built a loving family
and raised four children: Jessica Sykora, Bethany Dozier, Annalee Wittmeyer,
and Bryan Wittmeyer.
In later years, John embraced perhaps his favorite
title of all-grandfather. Known affectionately as "Cappy," he found
great delighted in his eight grandchildren and treasured every opportunity to
tickle, teach, and spend time with them.
John will be remembered
for his steady faith, sparkling blue eyes, servant's heart, and deep love for
his family. His presence will be greatly missed and lovingly remembered.
"What does the Lord
require of you? To act justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your
God." Micha 6:8
A celebration of Cappy's
life will be held on Sunday, April 26, 2026 at 2PM at Lord and Stephens West
Chapel.
In lieu of flowers,
memorial gifts may be made to one of the organizations Cappy supported: Unbound Now , Athens Pregnancy Center or North Fork Ministries.
