Obituary For John "Bruh" Ellis
John Ellis, the second eldest of eleven siblings, was born in Madison, Georgia on July 21, 1938, to Jannie Ellis Alexander and the late John Ellis, Sr. He attended public schools of Morgan County, Georgia.
John moved to Fort Pierce and worked many years as a laborer, factory mechanic, and an entrepreneur who provided lawn care service. He retired from Tree Sweet Citrus Plant. He was gifted with the ability to repair cars, fix things around a house, and build many things. He loved spending time with his family. John also had a love for dogs.
John Ellis began his Christian walk at First Bethel Baptist Missionary Baptist Church, initially under the leadership of the late Rev. Charlie C. Byrd, and remained an active member until his health limited his mobility.
On April 1, 2019, at Treasure Coast Hospice, the Lord called John home for eternal rest and peace.
