His life began December 3, 1974 in Houston, Texas, one of nine children born to John Mark Rinehart, Sr. and Sandra Rinehart.

John’s biggest passion in life was his family and making others happy. He was an avid fan of the outdoors, especially hiking, hunting, fishing, exploring, and just taking nice drives. He had a passion for flying his drones loving the pictures and scenery he took. John had a great sense of humor and enjoyed joking and having fun. He was a great cook and was quick to let others know when they didn’t make something right. He and Hunner enjoyed RC cars together, making tracks and racing. John never met a stranger. He had a passion for life and recently gave himself to our Lord and was saved.
