I'll love you always my baby boy, and someday I'll be there to join you and that will be pure joy. <3<3<3 Mom

If tears could build a stairway,
And memories a lane,
I'd walk right up to Heaven
And bring you home again.
No farewell words were spoken,
No time to say goodbye,
You were gone before I knew it,
And only God knows why.
My heart still aches in sadness,
And secret tears will flow,
What its meant to me to lose you,
No one will ever know.
I will love you always my beautiful son. Mom

My Beloved Son,
Four months have passed since you were taken from me, and although it seems as if it was just yesterday, it also seems like an eternity. Since then, we celebrated your birthday, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and in a couple of days, it'll be New Years. My heart aches for you and I look forward to the time when we will be together again. Until that time, I am taking good care of Magnet and Stoney and giving them lots of love. I know you are “In the Arms of the Angels” loving and caring for your Grandparents, Darla, and Chris. My love abounds for you, and always will. I pray that God will continue to guide me through this nightmare until I am with you again. Protege Moi, my darling boy.

What can i say brother, i miss you so much every moment. I miss the daily 2 or 3 phone calls, the drama, the laughter, the tears, the smiles, the confidence, the love...Life is and never will be the same. I love you.

JD ... I still think about what it would be like if you were still here. Living out here is hard like you said it would be. So thank you again & again for making me smile with all the bulletins & emails ... I find myself going back & reading them when I am upset about something. A person you don't know all that well can always put a smile on your face. how strange, yet amazing is that? I miss you!

JD was the heart of the Los Angeles music scene, and my good friend... he always made me feel welcome and appreciated, from the minute i "got off the bus" in LA. He always managed to bring people together, even in passing... words cannot express what has been lost... i only hope his spirit will continue to bring us together through the music and frienships he inspired... actually, i know it will.....

Wow. This was such surprising news. When I first moved to LA I lived across the hall from JD. In a town where I knew noone, JD always made me feel welcome and invited me to his club often. What a great guy and a gentle soul. May his memory live as long as the warm smile he always shared.
Best,
Seth

Dear Marti, and Family,
May God console you among the other mourners of Zion and Jerusalem. God, full of compassion, You who dwell on high. Grant perfect rest beneath the sheltering wings of Your presence among the holy and pure who shine as the brightness on the heavens, unto the soul of John David who has gone to eternity. May his repose be in paradise. May the Lord of Mercy bring him under the cover of His wings forever and may his soul be bound up in the bond of eternal life.

Marti, first I want to tell you, Im so sorry for your loss. I believe God just needed him in heaven for a special reason. I love JD with all of my heart, and Im going to be lost without him around. Even though JD and I were in and out of touch, I always had him in my heart. And I always will. Part of him is still here as far as Im concerned, right by your side. I think he may be your gaurdian angel now. When ever you want to talk, or just spend some time, you know all you have to do is call me and I will always be there!I Love you Marti. Holly

We found out about this a few days ago, this is the most horrible news in a long time. JD was always a big supporter of our band Peppermint Creeps and was an all around great guy. Peppermint Creeps are willing to donate any time, performance, merchandise, anything to help raise money for the family and expenses. Please forward this to whomever is making arrangements.

I've only known JD for a few months, but he was hands down the most caring, selfless, and generous person I've ever met. Every moment spent with him was a chance to forget about everything bad and be able to smile and laugh. He took me to the Warped Tour on August 6th, and it was easily the best day of my life and it was all thanks to JD. I will never forget him. He was a great friend and a gentleman and will be sorely missed. Best wishes to all his friends and family. It was an honor to have known him. <3

Dearest Marti, I feel so deeply for you at this time of sorrow. JD was a special person. What pulled me through after Paul was remembering the silly times we had together when we would roll on the floor laughing at whatever. Your "whatevers" will soon come. I hope I am there to share some of them with you. Love Cathy

We know no words will ever help you with your grief but we want you to know our thoughts and prayers are with you.
I remember Gary taking me to see JD in a play on Lincoln Road many, many years ago... and hearing you tell of his accomplishments since then... and funny that he later ended up with my cousin in California... he was a remarkable fellow, truly loved by all,
Again our thoughts are with you, Nancy Tobin & Gary Feder (and Erica Leventhal)
