I am so sorry to hear about the loss of this wonderful man. I really really can't say enough about how cool this guy was. I met him through a mutual friend and I interviewed him on my show and he interviewed me on his show. he was so kind, so positive and cared about people and animals. The world lost a good person here. John was such a nice man. He was so funny and a great human being. I'm just really shocked that he's gone. He was so young. My heart goes out to his family and friends....

I´m so shocked and saddened to hear of John´s unexpected passing. John and I become friends across the vast Pacific Ocean that separated us. We shared many discussions, thoughts, beliefs, and experiences over the air waves through our shared connection as Paxtial Arts ambassadors. In John I found a kindred spirit and I knew him to be good and kind man. I held the deepest respect for his many and varied life accomplishments of which I was in awe. Heaven has its first Paxtial Arts ambassador....
