John Alfred McReynolds, Jr.

Posted on: Dec 23, 2019

John Alfred McReynolds, Jr. was born June 1, 1940 in Knoxville to John A. McReynolds and Lady Goodson McReynolds. He graduated from Knoxville Catholic High School where he was editor of the school’s newspaper and All-Knoxville point guard on the basketball team. John earned his undergraduate degree from Notre Dame University where he was a walk on basketball player for the Irish. John received his law degree from the University of Tennessee in 1965. He spent three years in the Air Force as a Captain in the Judge Advocate Corps, before returning to Knoxville where he practiced law for 45 years. He began his practice with Key Lee and Layman, and later practiced with Baker Worthington for several years before establishing his own firm, Baker and McReynolds and later, Shea and McReynolds. John was a highly skilled trial lawyer throughout his career. He was a member of the Knoxville and Tennessee Bar Associations and Tennessee Trial Lawyers Association. Except for when the Vols played the Irish, John was an avid Tennessee fan, traveling to away games and bowl games with his wife Linda and friends. John loved playing golf and especially fly fishing on the Clinch River. He had many fishing adventures in Canada, the Bahamas, Labrador and Costa Rica to name a few. John died on April 1, 2019 after a lingering illness. He is survived by his wife, Linda Young McReynolds, sons, John A. McReynolds, III "Trey", Christopher McReynolds, and Matthew McReynolds and his wife Sarah and their children, Caitlin Everett and husband Jason, Bethany Hoskins, Harrison and Miles McReynolds.
