J.D. s love for the St. Louis Cardinals and his love of roller coasters will always be missed, as all of his friends and family know, so will his sense of humor and great zest for life. He will live in our hearts forever.

I did not know JD personally. I am Cody and Angel's reading teacher at Maroa Grade School. From the time I met them, they displayed acts of kindness, compassion, respectfulness, and humor. They are both fun-loving and a joy to know. If this is a reflection of JD, then he was definately a special man to raise such special children. May God look over them and guide them through their journey here on Earth as He did JD. My condolences to Cody, Angel, and family.

I just wanted to express my sympathy to you and your family. When we lived on 33rd st all those years ago, JD was the "cool teenager" I'm sure as little kids we were just in the way but he always had time to say hi and look at our cool rocks and stuff!.....Do you guys remember when he painted our faces like KISS for Halloween one year?
He was a blessing to all of you, to his friends and his wife and children and I will remember all of you in my prayers. God Bless, Sabrina
