He was born on Christmas Day, 1932 to Edgar Rice Easley and Nancy Pearl Skaggs Easley. He attended Pea Ridge School for 12 years, graduating in 1950. John did farm work and raised chickens for two years during which time he married his high school sweetheart, June Stroud in May of 1951. He went on to work for Model Laundry in Rogers for two years, first as a presser and later as a route man. John and June moved to Springdale where he worked at AQ Chicken House for two years and then to Fayetteville where he worked for College Club Dairy for two years as a route man. They then moved back to Pea Ridge in 1956 and John bought a Kraft milk route that he had for eight years. During this time he raised chickens, worked for Sisco Funeral Home and Ambulance, and was a sign painter. John was on the volunteer fire department in the 1950’s and 60’s.

In the late 1990’s, they changed the name to Easleys’ Hardware and Lumber and did business until June 2006, when they sold the business.

He was a member of the Jaycees and the Chamber of Commerce. He was instrumental in the development and paving of Gann Ridge Road in the 1970’s. He later served eight years on the City Council.
