GAC is saddened to share that John Wood passed away peacefully on Sunday, August 16 after a 21-month battle with pancreatic cancer.
John was a dear friend to many of us, a faithful member of the GAC community and Board of Trustees, and a GAC alumnus of the Class of 1986. His love for his family, his faith, and his commitment to GAC have blessed us deeply. We will miss him greatly.
While our hearts are heavy for Alicia Wood, a beloved K3 teacher at GAC, and their children, Ayden ‘26, Dillon ‘16, Addi ‘14, and all who loved John, we are grateful that his suffering has ended. John is no longer in pain, and we rest in the assurance that he is now in the presence of our Lord.
A visitation for family and friends will be held on Saturday, August 22, 2026, beginning at 1:00 p.m. at the Greater Atlanta Christian School Performing Arts Center (Church Auditorium). A memorial service celebrating John’s life will follow at 3:00 p.m. at the same location. Please us Spartan Stadium Entrance (second entrance).
