James Dennis Ward III

May God comfort strengthen your family during this time of deep sorrow. God will remember those who pass on in death because they are precious in his eyes. John 6:40.

I knew the five of you would be a family forever. It is so sad that forever was so short. I am here for you anytime you need anything.

J.D. was an incredible man with a great spirit and a transmittable laugh, we loved to be in hes company, and we should wish we could have had more times like the 2000 New Years-eave party in Norway. We remember J.D.'s expression when he set of the package of a 48 large rocket fireworks, and the other times we got to share with you, sadly it should have been many more of those moments, and we are blessed to have known J.D.
With our deepest sympathy and our Condolences to Monika,...

Memories are real
Love is forever
Cherish that hug
Remember the kiss
Hold him in your heart
Talk often of those memories
Show love to those around
Grief and pain is hard
Time will not heal
If you dont deal
The loss and pain is surreal
Tears and ache will help
You smile again but....
Remembered you cried
His love will always show up
Through memories, family, and friends
Find a star in the sky that willmark

I met JD at Shorewood HS. He was one of the coolest & kindest guys in school. He was always helpful and there with a big smile or hug when you needed it most. Ill never forget his laugh. He was a stand up guy and those are hard to find. Life is so unfair... he was too young to go. Our deepest condolences.

Where do I begin to explain the friendship and love JD and I shared. Spent 4o Years of my life with him in it as my brother. Going through all stages of life together... grade school, being silly together in jr high school, and growing in to adults together in high school. Always looking out and protecting me. Even working together at Pizza Haven as teenagers,, what a blast. Always sharing stories with each other as the years went on while growing our own families. I will forever miss your...

Monika and family... I didnt know JD well, we got to know your family when my son Josh and Evan played on the same ball team. I remember getting a chance to chat with JD and I was truly struck and his amazing personality! Clearly this was a man who loved life, loved his family fiercely and made the most out of every day! May your memories keep him alive in your life from now until you meet him again.

JD was a good man and it is obvious how much he was loved by his family.

May your memories of JD comfort you when times weigh heavy on your heart! You picked a true gem Monika! We must remember our fingerprints dont fade from the lives we touch! JD loved deeply and left us all better for it! Love to you and the kids! ❤
