John Thomas Mynatt, a dedicated family man and accomplished finance professional, passed away on December 7, 2023, in Nashville, TN, at the age of 77.

John was born on July 6, 1946, in Atlanta, GA to William Owen Mynatt and Rachel Hardin Mynatt. On October 6, 1973, he married Patricia Shepherd Mynatt, and they shared over 50 years of love and companionship. Together they navigated life’s adventures, from raising 3 daughters and working with each other in finance to exploring the world through travel.

John is survived by his wife Pat, 3 daughters, Marcy Trimble (Justin), Nicole Bickerstaff (Ripley) all of Nashville, and Corinne Mynatt of London UK, along with 4 grandsons, Ripley Jr, John, Ford Bickerstaff, and Lochlan Trimble. He is also remembered by his sister-in-law, Beverly Oxford (Gerry), niece Ashley Oxford of Los Angeles CA, and nephew Graham Oxford of New York.

John’s legacy extends beyond his 50 plus years of professional accomplishments. He was a devoted member of St. George’s Episcopal Church, an avid outdoorsman, hunter, and fisherman. A lover of old cars, nostalgic about old Nashville, and devoted to spending quality time with his family. His favorite tunes from the Beach Boys, echoing from his youth as the lead singer of local cover band, Beechnuts, are a testament to his vibrant spirit.

John spent time as the Assistant Director of Finance under Mayor Richard Fulton and oversaw the Employee Benefit Board, leaving a positive impact on public service.

He will be remembered for his outgoing nature, perseverance, and charm. His admirable qualities touched the lives of many. He faced adversity with a strong work ethic, competitive spirit, and a 30-year battle against lupus, showcasing resilience and determination.
