John Charles (Bear) Lucas, 61, of Bowling Green passed away Monday, June 13, 2022 at Columbia University Hospital. He was surrounded by loved ones as he left this earth. His passing is a tremendous loss to his family and his many friends. John was born in Louisiana, Missouri on February 5, 1961 to Bill and Maxine Lucas. He was the eighth of 10 children, and the father to 5 fine sons (Also known as little bears). He was a good and caring man and you never had to wonder what he was thinking, because he had no problem telling you exactly what he thought. He had a one-of-a-kind personality, wicked sense of humor, and a loud, contagious laugh that we will all miss. Cremation rites are under the direction of Bibb-Veach Funeral Homes & Crematory in Bowling Green. There will be a Celebration of Life held at a later date. Surviving are his 5 sons: Jonathon (Cassandra Wright) Lucas of Rochester, MI, Tyler Lucas of Hannibal, Josh (Hannah) Lucas of Hannibal, Kyle (Sarah Church) Lucas of Bowling Green, and Benjamin. . .
