We are praying for God’s peace and strength during this time and in the days to come. May your thoughts of Mr. John remove the tears and be replaced with laughter and smiles.

The memory of a true soldier who dedicated his life to his country and his family is priceless. You will be missed by all who has known you all these years. We’ve had good times and bad times but the friendship and the memories will never fade.

Every time I spoke with him or text him, he always yes always says something positive about Jesus, he will always say something positive about his family. He called me Sis; I will definitely miss those positive words from my brother from another mother. We will definitely miss you, a person that cannot be replace. Prayers and love go out to his wife, children, grandchildren, brothers and their family. Sending my condolescences. God Blessing on all of his family.
