John was an avid freshwater fisherman. In his role as NCWRC Chairman he worked hard to make fishing more accessible to anyone physically impaired and to introduce fishing to children. I knew him for 40 years. He was only 57 years old and suffered a fatal heart attack Saturday morning while getting ready to go fishing with his son, a student at NC State.

John graduated from Western Carolina University in Cullowhee in 1970 and the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill Law School in 1973. He practiced law in Fayetteville for the past 33 years and was a partner with the law firm of Downing, David, Downing and Pechmann. He was very active in his church St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Catholic Church.
He was past president of the Cumberland County Bar Association, past president of the Cumberland County Democratic Men’s Club, and a member of the advisory boards of the North Carolina Clean Water Management Trust Fund, Ducks Unlimited, and Friends of Special Operations Forces.

A passionate angler and conservationist, John gave unselfishly of his time and effort in promoting the wise management of fish and wildlife resources in North Carolina. John has championed the development of a fishing education center in Fayetteville, which will provide memorable fishing experiences to a broad public including young people, senior citizens, and mentally and physically challenged anglers. This center will be known as the John E.

Not only was John a successful and accomplished man, but those who knew him can attest to his compassionate and generous nature, always putting others before himself, even those whom he did not know.

My name is Jack Pechmann. John Pechmann was my father. I just googled his name, as I do frequently, and noticed you forum. I want to tell you that it was an honor to have him as my father, and the prayers that you all send up are really appreciated. I do not know how I am going to go on, but with the friends and family that I have, its do-able. Once again thank you all so much and keep all of us in your prayers.
