John Stone Obituary

Hello,
We would like to express our deepest condolences and to also let the Stone Family know that we recently sent Care Packages to American troops in the war zones. Each box carried a dedication sheet that includes the name, service information and a photo of your loved one. We recognize that this is a humble tribute, but we wanted you to know that it is heartfelt and made possible by thousands of like-minded individuals in the youth hockey community and beyond. We will not forget. May God Bless you and keep you strong.
Sincerely,
Charlie Gili & Family

Always remembering John. "Some gave all."

To Rose and family,
Greg and I just wanted to let you know that you were in our thoughts yesterday. It is hard to believe that it has been 5 years since our lives were joined together in sadness. It is so nice to know that John and Rob will never be forgotten.

To the family of Sgt. 1st Class John Stone:
Please know that just as your loved one remains in your hearts and minds; his sacrifice, and that of your family, remains with the people he died defending. Words cannot express the gratitude we feel for his bravery and selflessness, or the heartache we feel for your loss. God bless and keep you always.

To the family of John Stone. I was stationed at Camp Stone just after he passed. I returned to the same location that he died the year before, and was involved in heavy fighting. I carried with me during that time one of his magazines with his name on it. I felt that as a fellow medic he watched over me and it gave me a sense of peace in the turmoil.
He embodied all that is good in our soldiers; honor, bravery, and compassion. May he rest in peace and may all his family be proud of the man he was.

Another Memorial Day has come and gone Stoney...the days of running wild through the Alaskan Tundra... roping out of helo's... throwing down another dog and pony seem far far off... but trust that you are with so many of us everyday.

Sad to find so little information here, but I want to thank SFC Stone for his service and sacrifice. I did not know him, but our hometowns share a border [we live in Thetford]. I only regret it has taken me this long to find out about him. I hope his family will accept my resepcts and deepest gratitude.
Thank you, John. Be at peace.

On this Memorial Day you are remembered and respected. Thank you Sgt 1st Class Stone!

To the family and friends of John. Holding you all in my thoughts and prayers today.

There is nothing that I can say or do to take away the pain or bring you peace in your time of sorrow, but I will offer you and your family my heart felt condolences. I also offer you my prayers that in time the pain will easy and the memories of your HERO will carry you through each day and night. I want to thank your HERO, for his/her selfless act of becoming a member of the armed forces, his/her willingness to defend the United States of America, all that we hold sacred and for the sacrifice that will forever be etched in the memories of all those who knew him/her. Though tears can never bring him/her back, we hope that our tears express our gratitude for the sacrifice that he/she made and our sorrow at his/her passing. I believe for every fallen HERO there is a star shining brightly up above to remind us of the precious gift we were given.

Your mission on earth is complete and you are now a member of GOD’s Heavenly armed forces. Stand down brave warrior and take your rightful place in Heaven with all the HEROES who have passed before.

I made a special promise to LE RON A. WILSON, a dear family friend who joined the Army with three other friends, one of whom is my son (Le Ron was killed in action on 07/06/07 at the age of 18) on the day he was laid to rest as I touched his coffin, that I would never forget him nor would I forget those that gave their lives for our country before him, with him and after him and so when I came across www.legacy.com, I thought what a great way to keep my promise to Le Ron, so I will continue to leave tributes in each guest book until the day there is no longer the need to leave these tributes to a FALLEN HERO.

REST IN PEACE, HERO, YOU WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN!!

Thank you for the sacrifice made by Sgt 1st Class Stone and the sacrifice made by everyone who loves and misses him! May God bless all of you!!

I worked with Doc Stone in Afghanistan the year before his death. He was an awsome man and a great soldier. His compassion for the children of the country was evident in his daily work. He help me get through a tough winter in Northern Afghanistan, away from family and friends. As memorial day approaches I began to think of fallen friends and wanted to let Docs' family know that we are still here and he is still in our hearts.

I am so sorry to learn of another fallen Hero. I pray God will give you strength and courage to face the days ahead and soon you will be able to reflect back on many wonderful memories of John. God Bless!

Know in your heart that John is a true hero and will never be forgotten. All gave some, some gave all. Rest in peace John. You will be missed by everyone’s life you have touched.

To John's family, as the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life’s routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family, friends, and all Americans for the sacrifice of one of your family members for our freedom. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. May you find comfort in the loving embrace of our Heavenly Father.

In Remembrance of this Brave Soldier, Sgt. 1st Class John Stone, on the first anniversary of the day he gave his life for our Country and for Freedom.
May John, rest safely in God's Care and know that he is a True American hero, that shall Never Be Forgotten.
May the Peace of the Lord be with the Stone family.
There will Never Be Enough Ways, to Humbly Thank these Heroes, for their Supreme Sacrifice, my brother among them. KIA-Vietnam 1967.

"And God shall wipe away every tear from their eyes,
there shall be no more death,
nor sorrow, nor crying,
there shall be no more pain.
For the former things have have passed away."

May you find peace in knowing the love and memories you have, will remain in your heart forever and that this Country Remembers John's sacrifice.
I am So Deeply Sorry for your loss.

MAY GOD BLESS YOU AND YOURS. YOU HAVE OUR HEARTFELT GRADITUDE AND SYMPATHY FOR YOUR GREAT LOSS. THERE JUST AREN'T ENOUGH WORDS HERE ON EARTH TO EXPRESS THE SORROW. KNOW THAT HE WILL NOT BE FORGOTTEN YOUR HERO. MAY PEACE FIND YOU ALL. SEMPER FI

I am the brother of the fallen Canadian Soldier, Pte Costall. I want to send my condolenses to the Stone family.



You are a hero in my eyes, you too ran towards the sound of gun fire and paid the ultimate price. I won't forget you. May you rest in peace.

To Family and Friends of Sgt 1st Class John Stone,

We would like to send our deepest sympathy and condolences for you loss.



Our Son Private Robert Costall of 1PPCLI of Canada died in combat the same day as Sgt Stone. Our son had a new found respect for medics after his year of training for Afghanistan. He had thought maybe he would like to become one but found that they had it harder than infantry soldiers, so we would like to thank John for his service.

My condolences to the Stone family.

John may you rest in peace. Thank you for making the ultimate sacrifice in the name of freedom. You have earned your golden halo and wings. May you continue to soar in the heavenly clouds up above.

To SFC John Stone Family--Please accept my heartfelt sympathy. I pray you find peace and comfort in Jesus' loving arms.

My heartfelt sympathy to the Stone family in the loss of John. I did not know John, but my heart is broken and I am saddened for your loss of such a fine young person and hero. May God bring you peace in your heart as you reflect on all the wonderful memories you hold so close. Please know that you are in my heart and prayers. John you are a hero and you will never be forgotten.

I send each of you a hug from the most inner part of my heart.

Love and Peace

To the Family of Sgt. 1st Class John Stone:

My heart breaks again as I sign yet another guest book of another courgeous young soldier who gave their life so selflessly. I wish I never found myself in a position to have to sign another guestbook for the rest of my life. We lost our son 12/1/05.

I know first hand there are no words right now that will bring you the comfort and peace you need. Just know that you are not alone. My heart, thoughts, and prayers are with you all as you mourn this loss. We don't know each other, will probably never meet, but will forever be united in the loss of our Heroes. We have, unfortunately joined a group none of us wanted to join, an ever-growing group of families in this situation. May God grant you peace and strength to get through this and be able once again to smile at a memory rather than have only the tears that flow so easily now. To be so proud of your loved one and so saddened at the same time is a mix of emotions very difficult to deal with. I am sorry that I never knew your soldier personally, but none of these courageous men and women will be forgotten. They will never be able to be replaced, but sometime, someday your loving memories will help to sustain you. This courageous soldier will forever now be your Angel watching over you all for the rest of your lives. It's what brings me some measure of peace and comfort and I hope it will you as well. To his family and friends in pain, I offer this comfort. When you find yourself in that dark sorrowful place, think not only of how you will miss him, but instead recall the years, days, hours and minutes gifted to you by his presence. If you ever want to talk, I'm only an e:mail away and would love for you to tell me more about your Hero. God Bless this courageous soldier and family.
