Arc
John was born and raised some time in Truckee. His father was also a sheriff and his mother was the owner of a local bar. His father was stabbed to death after he was called-in to handle a dispute at the aforementioned bar. John harbored a great deal of unnecessary hatred for his mother following his father's death, holding her responsible since she called in the crime. Fortunately, John was able to mend his relationship with her before she died in 2001.

Not too long after his mother's death, John followed in his father's footsteps and became the town's sheriff. He married a woman named Susan too, his childhood sweetheart. The two had a relatively happy life up until Susan was diagnosed with cancer. John was by her side up until her death following which he fell into a deep depression and resorted to alcohol to fill the void. At one point he even contemplated suicide, but John was saved by the emotional support of his best friend Gregory Klemm who would go on to become the town's deputy.
