John Allen Aaron Way, III, age 81, of Mount Laurel, NJ passed away while surrounded by his loving family on Monday, September 2, 2019.

John was born in Letterman General Hospital in Presidio, San Francisco CA on March 1, 1938, son of Air Force Colonel John and Margaret Way. He resided in over 20 different states and countries, including the family’s lands in Prague, OK, but has called Mount Laurel home since 1970.

In his leisure, he enjoyed cars and riding motorcycles, physical fitness, golfing and science, but most of all was a lifelong enthusiast of classical music.

Above all else, he cherished the time spent with his family and will be deeply missed by those he leaves behind. John is survived by his beloved spouse of 48 years, Marilyn Way (nee Wooten); children, Timothy (fiancée Kelly), Todd (Beth), John Adam Aaron Way and Mia George (Paul); sisters, Melanee Armstrong and Nancy Bixby, niece Kathy Sue Cash and nephews Donny and David Bixby and Dusty Cash, brother-in-law John Wooten; grandchildren, Nicholas, JD, Trevor, Natalie and Tyler; great-grandchildren, Lilly and Ava.
