John’s greatest joy was spending time with his son. They loved riding motorcycles, bird hunting, training their dogs (Two and Barley) and watching, coaching and playing soccer.
John worked construction all around Northern Nevada, California and Idaho.

I wish we could have communicated more. You turned out to be an amazing man. We had so many great memories growing up. I used to love watching you and your friends ride skateboards and our family houseboat trips I will never forget you cousin. I will always love you. Rest in peace.

I was speechless when I got the call of what happened. I remembered that laugh John always had growing up. Much too young for this to happen. Jeff, if you read this, my condolences to you and the rest of the family.
