Not sure what to say?

Many years ago he encouraged me to become the first female firefighter and EMT. He was such a kind hearted man. I'd like to think I made him proud by later becoming a Paramedic in Atlanta. Prayers for his family. LaeAnne Cox-Farnsworth

We are so sorry about the loss of John. He was a fine man. I’ll never forget our fun times at EMT with John Scott and me. When I was training, it was many laughs. John was a good friend and he will be missed. Love your family. Dale and Ann Byars

So sorry to hear about John's passing. We were classmates from 6th grade until we graduated in 1982. He was always a sweet guy. I think I remember his laugh the most.
My thoughts and prayers are with his family during this difficult time. R.I.P. ✝

I am so sorry for the loss. John was a fine man. I would see him working at the local football games when my sons played. He was always smiling.

You will be greatly missed praying for the family you were a good uncle to us all and taught us a lot love you and gonna miss you.

Tammy & sons, Mike and I always thought a lot of John. He always let his light shine bright. God bless you all during this difficult time.

Tammy, Jeramy, Justin and Family, Our deepest sympathy and prayers are extended to all of you during this difficult time. Thinking of you and continuing to pray for you in the coming days.

John was a kindhearted soul. He loved taking care of others. I remember working with him during the summer while I was in school. He took his work seriously and at the same time like to have a good laugh. He will be truly missed. His family will be in my prayers.

My thoughts and prayers are with Mammy, Jeramy, Justin and family during this time. To know John was to love John. I was privileged to see him in action multiple times when he had to come out to assist with my stepmother when her sugar was dangerously low.
