I am saddened to hear of the loss of John Arch. The times I spent with him and Greg Andrews, Shawn Rodgers, and my brother, along with others, are among the fondest and best that I have experienced. He was an excellent fellow in a party and he was a kind and gentle soul and I will miss him. Until we meet again. Kyle Ruby

John Arch was a blessing to be around, always brought a smile to my face and was one of the best friends I have ever had. He was a groomsman in my wedding 18 years ago, and I am honored to have been his friend. Peace and consolation for his family. He will be missed greatly but he will always be in our hearts, and I can find solace in knowing he is saved.
