Mr. Bethany was born in Shuqualak, MS where he graduated high school and earned an Eagle Scout honor. He was a 1951 graduate and avid supporter of Mississippi State University. He served our country during the Korean War and was honorably discharged as a Navy Lieutenant and later from the reserves.

His career included long-term executive positions, professional honors and certifications with the Andrew Jackson companies and Financial Services of Mississippi, Inc. both in Jackson, MS. His die hard golf game challenged all he faced.
We know that John (Boo, Dad, Pop, Mr. B, and Uncle Boo) has carried with him his sincerity, laughter, sparkle and charm.
