I met John on the St. Rita Golf Team and we found that we had many things in common besides the fact that our initials are both JM. We both were unable to play many other sports due to something on our brain. John had a tumor and I have a cyst. We shared instant comraderie over this. He was a great person and a great golfer. My family and I have been praying daily for your entire family. I am so saddened by his passing but I am comforted in knowing that I have someone up in heaven whom I can call on for help. It is not how long we last on this earth, but what we do with our time here. John has impacted my life and been a true example of courage. I know that one day we will meet again and maybe play a great round of golf. May God comfort you during this time of great sorrow. Jerry Martinez, St. Rita Brother and the Martinez Family

I will never forget John's work ethic even after his diagnosis, never asking for special treatment or to get cut some slack. That his classmates can follow his example is my greatest hope of a legacy he will leave in their lives. I wish I had one-hundred Johns in my classroom. He will be greatly missed by this teacher.
