John Moreno was a kind and supportive friend of mine as well as a mentor to my son. He will be dearly missed but remembered always. John was taken from us too soon but he will live in our hearts forever.
John, you are now an Angel watching over all of us. GOD bless you and your family always.

John saved my life by reaching out, giving me an hug and introducing himself. We were friends from then on. We kept in touch sporadically when we moved away to MD but we'd always talk during football season as he was a die hard Jets fan! I know he loved his children and wife and loved wat hing his boys play soccer. He was a great guys with a great sense of humor, and I loved. I luv you, John! Rest in peacenmy brother!

John Moreno what a great guy. I am so glad to have called you a friend. One of the most generous and kind hearted guys I ever met. My son Jacques played soccer with both Antony and Ashton. John would always look after Jacques sometimes at games I could not attend. On those occasions he would return home and eat with the Morenos. His love of Columbian food had begun!!! Stay well my friend. You will be sadly missed.

My uncle Johnny was so special to me. The best god father a girl could ask for. He always told me how proud he was of me. I wish I could show him how proud I am to have had him in my life. I miss him so much but am glad that he is finally able to be with his big sister again. I will think of him always and try and continue to make him proud of me. All my love to the Moon and back Tio. Xoxo
