John Great Gammage, age 84, of Suwanee, Georgia, peacefully entered into the presence of his Lord and Savior on Saturday, January 28, 2023.

John was born March 10, 1938, in Birmingham, Alabama, to the late Charles E. Gammage and Theresa Gammage. John graduated from Auburn University in 1960 with a degree in Industrial Management and went to work for his father. He would become President and CEO of Metal Products Company, founded by his father in 1941. During those years John served on the board of the Steel Tank Institute and many other organizations such as Childrens Ministry International, and Logoi. John was a lifelong and faithful member at Perimeter Church. He proudly served in the United States Air Force Reserves and the Coast Guard Auxiliary.

Earlier in life John loved boating along the Intercoastal Waterway and recreational flying. He got both his captain’s and pilot’s licenses and loved taking friends along on his adventures. His hobbies also included restoring antique cars, woodworking, and golf. He was an active member of the Atlanta Athletic Club for 55 years.

Later in life, times dearest to John were the moments he spent sitting by the river with his family, listening to bluegrass and country music, talking “shop” with his boys, and enjoying all of Honeys good care and cooking.

John is survived by the love of his life, Linda “Honey” Gammage; cherished children Gam Gammage and wife Robin, Burcher Gammage and wife Annette, TG Nance and husband Mike; beloved grandchildren Logan Gammage, Karli Gammage, Austin Nance, Bennett Nance, and Claire Nance; brothers Charles “Doc” Gammage Jr. and wife Nancy, and Henry Gammage; as well as many extended family and dear friends.
