I’m so sorry to hear of John’s passing. to the family

I hope you're free from any pain brother. It'd been many years since we even crossed paths, but you were a good guy and great company. I'll hope to see you next time around. Rest in Peace, John

John was a best friend and a brother for a very long time growing up. I will definitely remember all the good times hanging out playing basketball together.

Aunt Nancy and Family, Daniel and I were saddened for your unimaginable loss. We wish you comfort and peace in your cherished memories of John. We love you all.

Uncle Butch & Aunt Nancy I'm very sorry for your loss! I will always remember driving w/Aunt Nancy w/John as a baby sitting on my lap saying "Ball" for the first time & we got so excited! He was an adorable little boy & that is a memory that always makes me smile. Please know I'm thinking of all of you at this difficult time. I planned to pay my respects in person but was told the visitation was private. Much love Helen Good Petit

So sorry for your loss what a great kid always had a smile on his face god bless

So sorry for your loss Butch and Nancy. Our prayers go out to you and all the family

I will miss you dearly son,I will go on with you in my memory in my heart and mind,Rest in peace I will see you again.
