Mr. John Thomas Hall (Little Bear) passed away on April 9, 2026 at his home. He always had a smile and a kind word for everyone he came in contact with. His friends meant everything to him and he would do anything he could to help you.
Little Bear was devoted to his church and was a longtime member of the Lancing Presbyterian Church, which he attended weekly. He also helped deliver meals for the church's food ministry.
Little Bear was a member of the "Over the Hill Nation" Cherokee Tribe (Long Hair Clan). He loved making Indian dream catchers and Indian jewelry. Anyone that knew him was well aware of his love for CB-ing and junking. He loved to strip for copper and hang out at the dumpsters with his friends.
He was preceded in death by his father, Fay Hall, and aunts Bernice Ritchey and Lucille Branim.
He will be missed by his church family. Best friends Mike Byrd, Debra and Casey Gorsuch, Matilda and Grace, Monica and Shelly, all the guys at the dump sites, best CB buddy "Witch Doctor" Richard Marcum, and lifelong friend, Mary Martha Pemberton.
As John would say to everyone he met when he left was, "God Bless".
There will be a graveside service on Monday, April 13, 2026 at 3pm at the Forrestner Cemetery, Lancing.
In lieu of flowers, please make donations to Lancing Presbyterian Church in memory of John "Little Bear" Hall.
Schubert Funeral Home is honored to serve the family of John "Little Bear" Hall.
