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 and friends.

Great memories of John in the early 80s as a fellow construction worker (cement finisher) and fellow distance runner. I mostly remember John as a man of God, a faithful catholic and family man. He loved his wife Mary, children and grandchildren. May he enjoy eternal life!

My brother was kind and generous. I shared his love of animals and especially horses. I remember him giving me the Easter bunny and his helper when I was 6 or 7. He would take me horseback riding. He taught me tennis. Later years he would call me during the Diamondbacks games and we would watch together on the phone. RIP my brother John. I know you are in the comforting and loving arms of Jesus.
With all my love,
Ann

John was an unwavering friend for over 40 years. My wife, Fran, had a special relationship with John. She asked John to be with her on a daily basis during her final days as she battled cancer. It is the ultimate testament of John's loving character that Fran wanted his support in her final hours. I have such a precious treasury of memories of John. I am so glad that John is together with Fran at my side as part of my legion of Guardian Angels.

The McDaniels send their love and prayers ❤❤ John, pray for us.
