John Joseph Walling

Uncle John, I miss you so much!!! You always had that hug that just seemed to take away all the pain and sadness in everyone's lives. I am so glad that I got the chance to be there at Christmas at Emily's when you and my dad were telling stories about when you two were kids. It was great to sit there and see the both of you laugh and everyone else laughing until we were crying. Those are the memories that I will keep with me for the rest of my life. I will always keep Ian in my prayers,...

Uncle John,

You have always been the most loving teddy bear we could ask for. You have created a lot of memories. Whether its been riding go carts or mini bikes, enjoying the 4th of July party, or just hanging out with you. God has placed you in a great place. Tell mom, grandma and grandpa I said hi. I will miss you and will never forget your loving heart.

Love Always

There was a lot of memories with this man. The friends & family too. Everyone loved being with him & said how much he treated you like gold. He did to everyone. Helping you with auto repairs & not asking any re-payment. Dinner or a night out for pool was just fine. His family is always in my memories as well & will be for my lifetime. He never got to meet my wife or kids & that bothered me still today. Thanks John of all the great times & the good friends you shared as well. All of us will be...

John was my best friend and the sweetest BIG brother ever. I had to share a story with everyone about the time our Mom took John and I one Saturday to get new bed spreads at Pamida. They were bright colored with all the Charlie Brown characters. We went to bed that night and it began to storm. I ran into John's room and he thought of an idea to put a green ball for my head and a pillow for my body. So our Mom would think I was in my bed when she checked in on me. That night I watched...

I am so sorry to have not heard sooner that God had called you home. I got your message wishing me a Merry Christmas, which is still on my phone! I am so thankful you stopped by a few months ago and we got to spend time talking about the old times and where our lives had taken us. You were my big brother and I loved you dearly. I wish we would have had more time to get together. The fun we had on O street and as friends will forever be in my heart and remind me of wonderful high school...

I am sorry to read of John's passing. I remember your family from when you were in St.Paul. I was a classmate of Donna's and remember Ellen. John would have been about the same age as my brother Tim.
Donna if you have time, it would be great to hear from you.

I worked across from John for two years in the Surplus Center. We talked every day, and I got to know him very well. He was one of a kind, with the biggest heart I've ever known, and his love for Ian was without bounds. He will be fondly remembered and missed. Rest now, friend.

Sorry to hear of Johns passing, we were around John back in the day. He fixed my starter on my car for me many many times and was a good friend and a fun guy to be around. He will be missed by many. Best wishes to his family.
