John Conaway Cross

John C. Cross, 72, of Davidson, NC, died unexpectedly of a heart attack on Thursday July 11, 2013. He was born July 24, 1940 to the late William and Lorene Cross of Lexington , Missouri . John was a 1963 graduate of the University of Missouri and served as a Lieutenant in the U.S. Navy. He worked in the computer security field for Ralston Purina, Lehman Brothers, Amerada Hess and retired as Vice President Corporate Information Security at Wells Fargo. Those who knew John found in him, a quiet compassionate man - with a dry sense of humor and deep love of animals. In his passing, John leaves behind; his wife Frances, son Sean with wife Sherri and stepsons Brent & Jeff, sister Janet Rae, brother Bill with wife LaVeda, nieces Keylee and Kelly, nephew David, and many friends in the Missouri area. Closer to home, John will be missed by his sister-in-law Madeline - true friend, confidante and fellow fireworks junkie, and nephew Brendan - "Uncle Doms" avid pun rival and computer-nerd buddy. And finally there are 4 furry creatures missing their treats, walks and pats from his warm loving hands. Services will be held at the convenience of the family. Raymer-Kepner Funeral Home and Cremation Services is assisting the family. Friends may offer condolences to the family at www.raymerfh.com.
