Today is a great day to sing the Wesleyan Fight Song, a song John always led at our Scholar Athlete Banquet. We sing for you today. Thank you for being a great person & Cardinal.

One of my favorite Cardinals! The leader of our fight song at all of our big athletic events, especially our scholar-athlete banquet. Always enjoy our conversations and hearing "Go WES" at our games. Thank you for being great.

Thoughts and prayers for the Driscoll family on John's passing. I loved him in high school and admired him thereafter.

When I was struggling with college life in a foreign country, John always supported, encouraged, and loved me so much. Every time I saw him, he treated me as if I were some kind of most valuable person on campus, and I was able to believe in myself and survive thanks to his warm, caring, energetic personality. He indeed made me who I am now, and I cannot thank him enough.
I miss you so much, John. I wanted to sing the Fight Song with you again. Espiritus.

He embodied the Wesleyan spirit in so many ways, but most known for breaking out the Fight Song any chance he gets, including at my wedding.
When you are with John, you feel like you are the most important person in the...

Very sorry for your loss, I am thinking about you, we are all thinking about you here in Wesleyan Athletics. John was a true Wesleyan Cardinal. I always enjoyed my conversations with John about athletics, our wrestling team, golf, fitness, and so much more. I truly loved our end of year student-athlete banquets as John was our MC. These were very memorable nights highlighting all the great accomplishments at Wesleyan. I also loved how John always fired up the crowd with the singing of...
