When you shared your first experience with Star Wars on Fandalorians with Sean Gerber, you gave me goosebumps. The way you described yourself as a child watching Star Wars in a drive-in theater, with the starry night sky as the background to our beloved galactic epic, made me feel like I was there with you. Listening to Marvel News, Sean and Paul would mention you often, giving you mad props for many things, but most notably for calling that the Russo Brothers would do a good job with Winter Soldier went all of fandom was scratching their heads. I'm deeply saddened because I will not hear your insight anymore with Sean on Fandalorians. I was looking forward to getting to know you better brother. I have no choice but to go back and listen to your work. Rest in peace and may your voice live on.

I only knew you briefly, John, but it was long enough to see your light. It will continue to burn in the lives of all who knew you. Rest in peace, my friend.
