John, we met the first days of January 2008 in Salt Lake City, Utah. We married at the end of November that year. I adored John, my husband. His business sense, his devoutness for his church and his family. John's chivalry and stamina was appealing and to me a strength. He never gave up. His life was at times so complicated. I will always remember him in many positive ways. I love you John.

Very sorry for your loss, may the Peace of God be with you!
As his neighbors and short time that we knew John, he was quiet and friendly.
Again, God be with you!
