John "Worm" Muse, Jr. Obituary

Mr. John L. "Worm", Jr. 

Age 30 of Lafollette, Tennessee passed away at home on Tuesday, November 26, 2024, surrounded by his loving family.  He was born December 27, 1993, to John & Monica Muse in Knoxville, Tennessee.  Worm was just short of his 31st. birthday.  He was an avid hunter and fisherman; he adored his mother, nieces and nephews. Worm was the type of person to help anyone with anything he could.  He was the first to jump up to do a job and the last to stop.  He had an infectious laughter and brought out the joy in any situation.  Worm loved football and the Vols, he always got so worked up when the games would be on but win or lose on draw, he was a Vol for life.  He was a child of God.
