John was my cousin, we were raised together as long as I can remember. He was more of a brother to me and I to him.
John had the kindest heart and would be there for you no matter what. He loved his children more than life. Andrew, Andrea and Willow were what made him happiest. John was also a die hard Razorback fan, my greatest memories were watching those games with him.
WHOO PIG SOOEE. GO HOGS.
Forever in my heart, your memory will never die!.
R.I.P MY BROTHER.
