On September 20, 2016 John Marvin Cely II departed this world embraced by angels into God’s care. John was a blessing when born on May 25, 1982 in Lufkin, to Sherri Dawson Cely and the late John Marvin Cely, former attorney. He was raised in Lufkin where he lived most of his life. John loved his family and fur babies dearly. John had many accomplishments in his life. He gave a concert singing country and western tunes to a sell-out auditorium at Hudson High School where he attended, giving the proceeds to the school. He was a curator at Sculptors by Design in Houston, an assistant manager at Coach and Eddie Bauer. His greatest accomplishment in life was his ability to care so much for people in need of help. He never met a stranger and his smile would light up any room. He will be greatly and eternally missed. Survivors include his mother, Sherri Dawson Cely of Lufkin; his fur baby daughters, Dottie and Honeybelle of Galveston; sisters and brother-in-law, Rebecca Cely Martinez and Carlos Martinez of Austin and Tiffani M.
