My heart feels your pain and sadness and aches for you .I only met John once , years ago, but what I do remember is that John as well as all of your children had huge smiles and seemed so very happy. I admired you for raising such wonderful kids. They were so kind, courteous and gentle to my kids that were very small at the time. We will...

Rest In Peace, John

John Ennis was one of those students that you never forget. His bright smile and his friendly personality made him a joyful presence in my classes. He was hardworking, polite and responsible. One of my favorite students. My heart aches.

Right now, happiness may seem like a leaf that has been carried away and is just a speck in the sky. Stay hopeful because winds of change can bring new things. New adventures will begin, and new joys will be born. I am sharing in your sadness as you remember your loved one, and sending my sincerest sympathies and condolences.

I was lucky enough to get to know John recently through mutual friends, spending time at home in Buffalo and also living in San Francisco. From the moment we met he treated me like we had been buddies for years. My deepest condolences to the close friends and family of a such a wonderful person; you are all in my thoughts and prayers.

Jim, Jackie and Ennis family. My Maddie, John's friend, just shared this heartbreaking news. My heart goes out to you and your family. Our deepest condolences. Jon, Maddie and all the Weirs.

I don't think I ever heard someone say a bad thing about him in my entire life. Why would anyone? He was open, friendly, and funny as hell. It's so heartbreaking that such a tragedy occurred to the...

Jim, Jackie, Katie & Nick-Words cannot convey how sorry we are for your loss. Please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers.

Sending sincere condolences for your loss. May the memories you have of John provide you comfort, peace and strength.
