John B. McLemore

John B., I carry you with me. I just listened to your story a second time, and I feel like I lost a friend. You were a beautiful soul, and the world lost you too soon. But, I know you travel with me.

I think, in the end, through Brian Reed, John was able to get his messages across to the most people possible. In a beautiful and deep way, John ended up affecting so many lives profoundly. Well done John, well done Brian.

John I will never forget you. Thank you Brian and all who worked to share this story. I learned so much. I hope his community honors his memory

I am tired in a way that I can´t even put into words. Thinking about John McLemore tonight. I didn´t know John personally, only through the amazing work of Brian Reed and company. I appreciate John´s complexity, his intellect, empathy, wit and sarcasm. I am so sad that he never found love in his life.

As I was drivinng to work thid morning I finished episode 2 of S-Town and began episode 3. Driving down I75 in North Dallas, tears streaming down my face for this man who I've only known from a podcast. Realizing that it has been over 8 years since his death but to me it serms it happened yesterday. I am feeling the loss, the sadness, the compassion for those left behind. But most strongly I am feeling the deep and profound tragedy that this world lost such an amazing, intelligent, caring,...

May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief.

John B i would like to thank you for the countless hours of emotional support. I cannot explain this feeling of loving someone you´ve not met. I can truly say you have changed my life for the better. I am planting some cast iron plant for you in my garden next year. I will never forget you.
