John M. Higdon

We are saddened to announce that, John Higdon, left this earth to fish in the heavens on April 28th, 2025. John Malcom Higdon was born on January 20th, 1956, in Battle Creek, MI to Arlington & Grace Higdon. He worked at Delton Pole, as an office manager from 1989 to 2019 before retiring and driving for the Amish.

John knew how to have a good time. Family, fishing, and hunting were the priorities in life. Fishing tournaments with his best buddy Al, pulling the family in the tube across gun lake or just spending time out on the lake. Bass fishing tournaments during the summer were the key to happiness for John, he told many family members, they better not schedule anything during the summer months because he already had plans and would not make it. He was always grateful to be out hunting, whether that was shooting bear at Higdon Bear Camp every September or Hunting Whitetail at Joey’s October – November. John's love for the Detroit Lions, the casino, Duck dynasty & strawberries in his later years was only rivaled by his love for his kids, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Arlington & Grace; his brother, Robert Higdon; his sister-in-law, Dot Higdon; and daughter-in-law, Carrie Terrio. John is survived by his siblings, Deidre (Randy) Polley, Bill (Catherine) Higdon, Joe (LeeAnn) Higdon, and Jim Higdon; his daughters, Brenda Higdon and Jessica (Don) Daniels; his sons, Steven Daniels and James (Tina) Higdon; his grandchildren, Courtney (Aaron), Shelby (Taylor), Tyler (Kalyn), Hannah, Chayce (Jordaea), Brandon, Jonathan (Mckenna), Kelsey, Myrah, & Skyler; great-grandchildren, Maddie, Kayden, Jonathan, Emberly, Grayson, Raylynn, & Jackson; as well as numerous nieces,nephews and friends.

A Celebration of Life will be held on Saturday, May 17th, 2025 from 3-6 at the Delton Moose Lodge, 5420 Mooselodge Dr, Delton, MI 49046.
