John C. Settle, Jr. “Junnie,” 84, of Wilmore, went to rest in the arms of his Lord on May 24, 2024. He was the husband of Evalina K. Settle for over 65 years.

He served in the Navy and throughout his life worked as an electrical lineman & foreman, a mall facilities director and primarily a Realtor Broker. He moved his family to Wilmore in 1972 and truly made this community his home. He was a member of the Wilmore Presbyterian Church, where he enjoyed participating in local missions projects and served as an Elder.
John had a special ability to gather friends and a desire to serve others; his capacity to care for those in need had no limits.
He is survived by his wife, daughters, Elizabeth Collins and Anna (Byron) Schick and son, John H. Settle. Also by 8 grandchildren, James, Sterling, Elizabeth (Greg), Bailie, Robert, Zach (Hana), Catey and Sydney (Aaron) and 5 great-grandchildren, Addison, Luke, Riley, Evan and Jasper.
