John was born in Ord, Nebraska, the first born son of John Paul McBeth Sr. (1928-2017) and Irma Beatrice McBeth (Nelson) (1929 - living). John was the first of ten children born to his parents and lived in Nebraska and Alabama as a small child and while still young his family moved to St. Clair Shores, Michigan. John remained in Michigan for the rest of his life. John worked for DTE (formerly Detroit Edison) as a truck mechanic, Linesman and Cable Splicer Specialist Leader for over 40 years. John was a man of many talents and interests. He could flawlessly golf, fix a car while listening to classical music, play league hockey, read a classic novel in a days' time, while still finding time to share a beer and a laugh with his friends. He was generous and thoughtful and loved to garden, bake and ride motorcycles. Although often frustrated, he was a Detroit sports fan through and through, and he especially enjoyed watching hockey and the Detroit Red Wings.
