On Saturday, July 25, 2026, family, friends, colleagues, and members of the church gathered at the Quakertown Civic Center in Denton, Texas, to celebrate the life and testimony of our dear brother, John Earl Baines. The memorial service was a fitting reflection of the man Johnny was — marked by heartfelt remembrances and thanksgiving for a life lived in faith, service, and love for the Lord Jesus Christ.

 

Throughout the service, family members, lifelong friends, professional colleagues, and members of the church shared memories of Johnny's remarkable journey. While he was widely respected as a CPA, community leader, educator, and mentor, those who knew him best remember him first as a man who loved Christ and faithfully cared for people. His life demonstrated an unwavering commitment to serving both his community and the church for more than four decades.

We are grateful to share these resources from the memorial service so that others may remember Johnny's life and be encouraged by his testimony:​
