John Carl Riggins

So sad to see you past away. I was 16 when I first met you in 2006 and I worked at Subway. You were always so nice and sweet. You would come in around 7:00 P.M to use the restroom or buy something. Thank you for always being sweet and kind to the people in all Willow Glen.

This is Marck, John's middle brother. My heartfelt appreciation for all those who endeavored to put their thoughts into words on this page. I want to go back to summer of 77, where we spent most of it on a motorcycle going to Almaden res. and goin to Los Gatos parks playin frisbee. He, at that time wasn't just my brother, he was my friend. We spoke of global conditons, politics, women, music and the Lord Jesus Christ.

I was reading the paper today at work and read an article about a man being convicted for murder of a homeless man 2 years ago.I may have not finished the article but my interest was peeked because it occurred in Willow Glen my past home until august 2007.Then I saw the name and location and I knew.I first met John in 1997 in front of the laundry mat at Minnesota and Bird where he used to hang out before Lincoln Ave.I had an ongoing relationship with him ever since.I often visited him at...

I am sorry that I never met you, but know that you touched the heart of my son who did. I'm sure you are at peace now, but hope you know how many people cared about you. Angie

God Bless you and rest in peace John. Although we never knew you in person, I'm sure you were loved and made a great impact on others in Willow Glen. You have made a great impact on me,as well as my son Brandon. I prayed for you today and hoped you made it to Heaven.
Rest in Peace

I missed your candle light vigil in Willow Glen but heard it was nice with bag pipper and about 60 or so holding candles. You deserve a big send off...and I have a candle burning for you at home. You are missed.

The people of Willow Glen mourn your loss and miss you. You are missed at Pete's, Le Boulanger, Pizza My Heart and riding down the street. This last weeek there's been fewer people at Pete's especially.The town isn't the same...and may you be at peace.

Years ago I knew John's family, especially his mother at church. They had a big loving family and I send my best to all of them at this difficult time. I know John is at peace in heaven.
