Jovan was known to me simply as Cheryl Dixon's little nephew "Peedy" in the 1990's when he traveled with her & Fabian in the blimp crew entourage as an enduringly inquisitive youngster. The fond memories are of a truly fun-loving boy who epitomized all the qualities one would want in a son: impeccably well behaved, always polite, & most of all a very bright spark with a big contagious smile that spread to everyone around him. He obviously turned into a fine young man, and such a loss must be unbelievably heart wrenching for all involved. The sincerest condolences and deepest prayers are extended to Peedy's entire family from mine here in NJ, where we all recollect the memorable opportunity to enjoy meeting that charming little boy so many years ago.

Sincerely,

John McHugh & Family
