Not sure what to say?

It´s been 2 years and I still run across John´s screw driver set in my tool box at work. His signature the JM. is still on it in the link paint marker we used every day. I miss him. He was one of my best friends. I spoke to him a week before he passed and that was it. It still gets me every time.

My heart is with the Magness Family. And my prayers are lifted for you.

I concur what my sister Sandy Fowler said about John. He will be missed; praying for the family. Love to all.

John I'm going to miss you my friend. We never got to take that ride on the motorcycles together, but I know you are happy at your forever sky beach. My condolences to your family. I know you were a very private person but with our talks I feel like I know them. Love you man, rest in peace.♡♡♡

I remember the fun loving, sweet, compassionate young man that John was, I remember all the laughs we had at his antics as a young kid when he came to the mountains in Hot Springs, NC to visit us. I know that he will be missed by all who knew and loved him we are saddened by his loss and want Starla, Charlie and Lisa and extended family to know that you are in our thoughts and prayer. When you are overcome with sadness may the God of comfort surround you with presence of peace.

I am soo sorry for your loss. I remember John as he was a good friend of Brad. Such a very nice young man then.

Praying for your family during this time of loss. Love y’all!!!

I am fortunate to have known and worked with John. He was truly a good individual, a hard worker, and all around nice human. He always did whatever was necessary to get the job done and did so with no complaints. He was smart and shared his opinion, which were often valuable to the company. Such a loss. My condolences go out to John's family. He will be missed.

One of the best men I've ever worked with. All around good guy and a good friend. My prayers and condolences go out to his family. Rest easy good buddy.
