John, what a great guy! Fun, respectful, a big brother to me throughout high school. May the wonderful memories he shared with those who knew him be an inspiration to our future generations. He conquered the highest mountain here on earth and now has conquered God's highest plateau. Rest in Peace John and may God comfort the hearts of those who loved and knew him.

when my sister and i first moved to fountain valley he was the first person we met, he became a good friend, i knew he was smart when he sat next to me in science, he always top my score. i will never forget how he got the highset grade in the class. i always wondered how he was doing, and thought what a lucky guy to do so much with his life, I guess god had higher mountains for him to climb in heaven, god bless all his family

Many years ago I lost a brother-in-law on the same mountain. I feel your pain and can only hope that you are able to take some comfort in that he was doing something he loved. My prayers are with you.

How cool to live a life so full of adventure and die doing something you love. Tragic loss of life, but what an awesome life he has lived! So many people watch life pass them by John obviously wasn't one of them. Maybe he was too young but he obviously lived life to the fullest. RIP and GODSPEED!
