John Witherspoon Ervin, Jr. (50) of Charleston, SC was called into the arms of our Lord on January 6, 2024.  "John-John" was the cherished son of the late JoAnn Mitchell Ervin and John Witherspoon Ervin.

John was born in Savannah, GA on March 9, 1973.  John grew up in Pawley's Island, SC, and was a graduate of Georgetown High School.  John went on to receive his Bachelor's degree from the University of South Carolina.

The legacy of John's love will be carried on by his father, John Ervin, his sister, Joslyn Ervin Otis, and his beloved nephews, Bonner Otis and Orence Mahr-Batuz and beloved niece, Mitchell Otis.

John was a shining light of unwavering goodness, with genuine devotion and unconditional love, for all who knew him.  He truly loved his family and his friends, above all else.  He enjoyed traveling, and was always excited for his next destination.

John pursued a career in the film industry, upon graduating from college.  He enjoyed working on several major films, in cities across the country. In 2009, John took an entirely new position, which lead him to living abroad for the next 12 years.  John was hired as the head of Neptune Pacific's operations, a South Pacific logistics and shipping arm of Fiji Water Co.  John lived in Suva, Fiji for many years.  Continuing his career with Neptune Pacific, he eventually moved to Auckland, New Zealand.  His overseas family was large, and meant so very much to him.  A recent sentiment from his closest friend in Auckland, "John left a large part of his kind soul, in this part of the world".

There are so many here, and abroad, that join us in mourning the death of our beloved John.  John was taken too soon, and undoubtably, will forever be missed.  While our Mom is celebrating the arrival of her son in Heaven, we find peace in knowing that we will all be reunited, once again.  John's legacy of compassion and devotion, and his loving nature, will be etched in our hearts forever.  I love you, sweet brother.
