John A. O'Guin III

Just learned of John's death and extend condolences to his family. Knew John from NWMSU and feel fortunate to have had him as a friend. Like many of us who drifted apart doing one thing and another am sorry not to have maintained contact but fortunate to have known such a fine guy.

I know this is a bit late adding to the guest book but I only recently learned of John's passing. I played football with John at Northwest MO State and also spent much time with him just goofing around as college boys will do. I haven't seen him since our college days but have thought of him often. I've been guilty of not acting on my thoughts about contacting him and actually making the effort to visit. I regret that now and will keep it in mind when considering other friends. John was...

had not seen john for about a decade. He was a good clise friend for many years and yes he had stories! great ones. we goofed together at battle creek often and vacationed wit the wives in sunricer where john and the mrs. managed to tip over a canoe in slow still water. he wasxa great friend of mine fir many years, motte dame fanatic. love you john, your friend forever, greg

I remember John and his parents with much love and affection. He was a dear friend of my sister Katie in college at NWMSU and whenever I came to visit, he and his parents were so warm and friendly. I just adored all three of them and looked forward to seeing them again. I am so sad to hear that he died so young and send my deepest sympathy to his mom and family. I have no doubt he continued bringing happiness to everyone whose lives he touched.

I worked in Staff Services at EVCC in 2007 and my first day on the job I had the great pleasure of meeting John and his great gift of gab. He was the real deal, one of those rare folks that made you feel you'd known him for years. There wasn't one day that I didn't look forward to seeing his smiling face coming through the door. If we listened and watched, this man was a great teacher, always humble and steady as a rock.
Rest in peace my dear friend and may your family and friends be...

There are certin things in life that can't be overlavished--- smiling, giving, caring, loving, being thankful, and being a good friend. ---That was Mr. John to me! Erica Terry

John has been greatly missed here at EvCC since his passing. My thoughts and prayers are with his family.

I miss you so much John and was so honored to know you. John worked with me and looked out for me when I was here at the College late. He always offered to walk me to my truck late at night just to be safe. He was also kind enough to offer me one of his microwave dinners anytime I was here late and hungry. We laughed many times together and he was a joy to work with as well as a good friend. I miss your smile John and all the funny conversations. My heart goes out to your friends and dear...
