Betty, Stuart, David, Jean,
John, along with Glover Garner, Ray Salade and my son Scott met weekly at each others house for their two year old play group. He was fun, inquisitive, sensitive and creative. He kept these special traits throughout his young life and all our family will miss him dearly. Barbara, Richard, Scott and Jesse Hudgins

Stuart and Elizabeth, I so enjoyed getting to know your son during the time we were banded together to save the live oak trees that were (and most of them still are!) on the Museum property along Warwick Blvd. He has a kind, eloquent soul and spirit. in love, Lee Carpenter Mitchell

Dear Stuart and Family,
I met John through my friend Lisa many years ago. I can distantly remember the good food he made. I can also see in my mind some of the beautiful and intricate drawings. He was kind and he loved nature and music. He was always an inspiration. I know his spirit is free in the sky. I wish you all peace and understanding.
with love, Amy Hyatt Eubank

Stuart and family,
While viewing the news this a.m. I learned of the passing of your son. Sounds like he was an outstanding individual...and, you have many wonderful memories to reflect upon.
We loss one of our sons' about 3 weeks before his 43 birthday in 2007.
May it help in some small way to know others care.
God bless and keep each of you in His perfect peace at this time.

May the Lord keep you in our prayers. My deepest sympathy for you and your family. Stuart there are friends out there that care. May God Bless.

Atkinson Family,
I got to know John during teen years through Chip. Many were envious of his talents then; got to know him once again when I returned to the area in 1999 and respect for his talents and character were renewed. I would like to have had more impromptu jam sessions with him, and would have enjoyed learning a few woodworking tricks from him.
I am very sorry you have had this unexpected loss.
