I went to high school with John. He was the kind of person who was friends with everyone. Although I was never very close with him, I did learn a lot from him. John was a free spirit and lived every day to its fullest. He had a smile that could light up a room and a laugh that was contagious. I am so sorry that such a great person was taken from us so soon, but he truly impacted everyone who was blessed to know him. John's family and all those who cared for him are in my thoughts and prayers.

I've known John since middle school and became really good friends with him in college at WCTC. He would always make me laugh and made our 4 hour long classes much more enjoyable with his sense of humor and his stories. and his art was amazing. He had such talent in him. He was a great unique person and I will never ever forget him. Many prayers for him and his family. God bless.

I was lucky enough to know John as a co-worker, an artist, a songwriter and a friend. I will sincerely miss him, but I won't be able to forget him for all that he was.

John was a great friend and an extraordinary person. John was a unique person always full of energy and laughter. He was one of a kind and can never be replaced or forgotten. I will never forget his passion for life, and his love for music, art, and fishing. Every time I go fishing I will think of John and all of the fish stories he would tell. I will always remember his talented and extremely funny book of drawings. He brought happiness to all the lives he touched and always knew how to put a smile on my face. His remarkable sense of humor is one of the things I will miss the most. I have so many wonderful memories of him that I will always keep with me. John left too soon but he enjoyed the time he had to the full extent. John's family and friends are in my thoughts and prayers. John, I hope you found a nice fishing hole in heaven and save a seat for me. John will always be missed and never forgotten.
