John was born on October 27, 1934 in Shawsville, Virginia to William Bane and Claudine Atkinson. He attended Roanoke College and received a Bachelor’s degree from University of Richmond. He was a practicing CPA for over 60 years. He was married to his soulmate Debbie, had three children and two step children all of whom he adored. Johnny was raised in the Shenandoah Valley and had a deep love of the state, its history and its beauty. He spent his entire life in the state helping others and his communities. He gave his time and talents chairing numerous organizations including Rotary Club, Prince William Hospital, Chamber of Commerce and Historic Manassas. He established an academic scholarship at Roanoke College and also supported numerous initiatives with Wintergreen Resort. He was a founding member and President of Evergreen Country Club, and spent much of his life with a golf club in his hand.

His five hole-in-ones can attest to his love and tenacity with the sport. Johnny also had an insatiable curiosity for Civil War history. So much so, he spent eight summers taking courses which took him and his wife across the entire state visiting every Virginia battlefield.
