Aug 02, 1941---Apr 15, 2025

John Lawrence McMahon lll, age 83, of Kansas City, KS, passed away on 4-15-2025 quietly at his home.  Born 8-2-1941 in Leavenworth, KS, John graduated High School from Piper in 1959 and went on to spend many dedicated years working at the stockyards and Washington High School before retiring. John was known for his love of cattle, his small collection of chickens, and could be seen on most weekends at a local auction or garage sale.  If he wasn’t doing that, he would be playing with his grandchildren.  John is survived by his wife Wanda Jean McMahon and two children, John McMahon lV and Shelly Harkness.  He was preceded in death by his parents John and Selma McMahon, and his daughter Sandy Young.

I have so many wonderful memories of Uncle John. Some of my favorites was the time we spent in the restaurant. I learned to appreciate his sense of humor and his willingness to tackle just about everything. Over the last 40 years he was always a strong presence through good times and bad. My heart is so heavy today, but I know he's with Sandy today and I will see in the not so distance future.
