John Lloyd Rary, 64, of Concord, passed away on Monday, October 18, 2021, at Atrium Cabarrus in Concord, NC.

John attended Northwest Cabarrus High School and he later became a self-employed Auto Mechanic in which he thoroughly enjoyed. During John’s spare time, he thoroughly enjoyed racing late model stock cars in the Nascar Series at Concord Motor Speedway with his sons. After his racing days he loved to take his grandson Tyler to the racetrack for some Saturday night fun; watch his granddaughter Cloe’ cheer, to hear his granddaughter Emma sing his favorite song “Crazy Train”, and to hear his grandson TJ pray at family gatherings. John and Rita would sit and watch the game show network for hours a day. John so loved spending time with his sister Jan and his other family and friends.
