John A. Bledsoe

My deepest sympathy to the Bledsoe family. I was a class memeber of John's at WHS. Although I was not a close friend of John's I do remember what a great guy he was. May God Bless your family in this time of sorrow

Dear Bledsoe family,
John was a year older than me and graduated a year ahead of me, but
I want to share a story about when we were in gym class and I threw a basketball at John and hit him in the back, and he turned around and looked at me like, "who the .... would do that to me???" well, I was pretty fast on my feet, but it was like a thoroughbred out of the gate chasing me! i never realized a big guy like that could run so quick! He caught me within 50 yards!
I always...

Dear Bledsoe Family:My condolances to your family.
John and I were friends at WHS. I remember going to the family house for his dad to take pictures of all John's friends and eating pizza. He was a great guy and much fun to be around.
I will miss him.

John's Family & Friends,
I have never experienced someone with more vitality and enthusiasm than John. I can remember to this very day, English class before the Bay game, John yelling out in the middle od class, "Beat Bay"!
We will all miss John.

My deepest sympathy to the all the family. I had not seen John in along time and i am very sorry I did hear about the loss earlier so i could of attened the services. I have great memories of our growing up and what an insperation he was. By far the most determined and intense player i had ever met. When i talk about my high school football day's i always go back to the time John scored 8 touchdows in one game everyway you could score John did. It seems though that god has a better place for...

My deepest condolences to the Bledsoe family. I lived with John and was a teammate of John's at Ohio State. He was truly one of the best running backs I've seen. Nobody wanted to play footbal more than John. Later on after OSU we talked about life and jogged and talked about moving our lives into the mainstream. John just wanted to excel, in everything he did. It was astonishing what he could accomplish, especially after what I saw he did at 3M. He was an engaging guy that deserved...

My deepest sympathay to the Bledsoe family. I will always remember John and to this day I talk about him to friends out here in California. He and I and shared one sport together, track, but everyone at WHS shared John's sports achievments. He was truly a gifted athlete. A few years ago I went back to WHS and walked the halls. There were changes and some things stayed the same. One thing that I noticed was John's records were still there on the board. All the records from our day were...

To the Bledsoe Family:

You have my deepest sympathy for your loss. I went to Westlake High with John and have fond memories of our days together there. I was so sorry to hear that John needed to leave us, but he's hopefully at peace and in a better place.

deepest sympathy
