Heaven.

Visitation will be from 9 a.m. to funeral time today at Sacred Heart Catholic 
Church. Mass will be held at 11 a.m. today at the church.

John leaves behind his brokenhearted family, his wife, Leslie Besson Rutledge;

in-law, Andrew Besson; his brother-in-law, Kevin Besson; his maternal

His greatest love was his family, especially his children, whom he was so very 
proud of, especially watching them as they serve Mass at Sacred Heart Church. 
His passion was motorcycles, whether he was riding, building or just working on 
them. He loved Christmas, he would decorate his yard and dress as Santa and give 
gifts to the children who stopped by. John never met a stranger and would do 
anything for anyone without ever being asked.

compassionate staff at South Baldwin Regional Medical Center, Baldwin County 
Sheriff's Office, Orange Beach Fire and Rescue and Med Star EMS.
