Dr. John Stephen Kovar, age 64, of Ft. Walton Beach, FL, passed peacefully on January 5, 2019 after a fight with Leukemia.

John was born in St. Louis, MO on July 29, 1954. He proudly served in the US Air Force. He graduated from Logan College of Chiropractic in 1981 and was a beloved and caring chiropractor in the Fort Walton Beach area for over 36 years. He loved the practice of healing others naturally through chiropractic care and acupuncture. John was a loving husband, father, grandfather, and friend to so many and will truly be missed.

He is survived by his wife, Pamela Kovar, daughter, Dr. Kristin Kovar, brother, LTC Lou (Maureen) Kovar, sisters, Kathy (Sam) Price, Anita (Steve) Craig, Diane (Dwayne) Cooper, and Carolyn Kovar, and step-daughters, Susan (Craig) Basye-Miller, Jennifer (Jay) Wonnell Jolliff, Hanna (Chris) Heavener, Amy (Phil) Wonnell Moreland and Chloe Wonnell. Grandchildren include Jason (Mindy) Basye, Nicole (Melissa) Basye, Dustin (Jessica) Basye, Anthony Eck, Cristina Eck, Tiffany Eck, Kaiti Plunkett, Hunter, Beau, and Dane Jolliff, Maddy, Ella, and Wyatt Moreland and Olive Heavener. Great-grandchildren include Tyler Ellis, and Ava and Emmaline Basye. He is also survived by his in-laws, Sharon and Jerry TenBarge. He was also Uncle John to numerous nieces and nephews.

He was preceded in death by his first wife, Dixie D. Kovar, parents, Fred and Joan Kovar, step-son, Dr. Richard Basye, and grandparents, Joseph (Paw Paw) and Lillian (Nanny) Kirby and Louis and Heddy Kovar.

A Memorial Mass will be held in honor of John on Wednesday, January 9, 2019, 11:00 am, at St. Mary’s Catholic Church located at 110 St. Mary Avenue SW, Fort Walton Beach, FL 32548. A Celebration of Life will be held after the ceremony at the St. Mary’s Parish Life Center. In lieu of flowers, the family requests charitable donations made to Catholic Charities, St. Mary Catholic Church or Good Shepherd Lutheran Church of Shalimar, FL.

He loved to travel. He loved good food. He loved his family and friends. He loved his patients. He loved his life.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for all the prayers you’ve offered up for John. But, God had a different plan for John, although it wasn’t what I was hoping for. God’s plan is better plan than I could ever imagine in this life. God is good. Even when it hurts.
John Kovar left this earth this morning, peacefully, with his family all around. Pam

Update: Dr. Kovar is still in ICU and his organs are being supported. He had a slight rise in white blood cell count yesterday which is a godsend. We pray this will continue.
No visitors at this time. We appreciate all your prayers and support. Sandy

T’was the day before Christmas,
But there was no cheer.
No jingle bells jingled, no sound of reindeer.
The word had got out that Santa was sick.
There’d be no friendly visit from jolly St. Nick.

The people were sad; no gaiety sounded.
For Christmas had come,
But Santa was grounded.
He walked down the street,
But what should he see
On a small sign was, John S. Kovar, D.C..

Now Santa was not one to like a new tactic,
But all else had failed, so he‘d try Chiropractic.
He entered the office and saw at a glance
In a place such as this illness hasn’t a chance.

For all were smiling; the music was snappy.
With all the patients contented and happy.
In a very short time, to judge by the clock,
He was in the adjusting room, talking to Doc.

“It must be the hurry, the tension and all.
I simply can’t seem to get on the ball.
Life used to be easy, just toys, guns, and whistles.
Now I have to dodge fall-out, space ships, and missiles.”

“And Doc, take a look at the size of this pack!
Have you any idea what it does to my back?”
Poor Santa was miserable, just barely able
With the help of Dr. Kovar, to get to the table.
Dr. Kovar was gentle. Without fuss or tussle
He examined the vertebrae and relaxed the muscle.
He spotted the trouble, and then with a click,
Started aligning the ailing St. Nick.

And Santa felt aches and pains slipping away.
In no time at all he began to feel gay.
The air was a tingle with a new fallen snow,
And a healthy Kris Kringle was rarin’ to go.

As he went out the door, he threw all a kiss
Why, it has been centuries since he’d felt as good as this!
Then once more he shouldered the bag full of toys,
His heart overflowing with true Christmas joys,

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU AND TO ALL A GOOD YEAR !!!

Update: Last few days have been very distressing. However, today things are looking up. Showing improvement. Keep those prayers going!
Also, I want to thank everyone for their concern and support. Not only for Dr. Kovar but for me as well. I greatly appreciate your concern for me and your offers to help. It really blesses my heart! Sandy

Musculoskeletal disorders in athletes can negatively influence physical performance. A new study in the British Medical Journal found that SMT (spinal manipulative therapy), which is most often performed by a doctor of chiropractic, produced immediate effects on the body's alignment, proving effective and safe.
