Met John in the 6th grade and we were close friends all through junior high and high school and many years beyond, even after he moved to Vegas. He had many talents and absolute integrity. I had many great times and adventures with him. If he counted you as a friend he'd do just about anything for you.

My deepest condolences to his family and loved ones and all who had the privilege and pleasure of knowing him and loving him.

God bless you John. Your friend forever.

We will miss John's kind and generous nature. We will miss his summer peaches and his hands always willing to help without even being asked. We will miss Rosie's sweet face.

Our heartfelt condolences to his family. John was a good, honest soul. Our world was better for having known him. Our little street won't be the same without his presence. Peace and comfort to his family in the days and months ahead.

~Matt and Kalah (neighbors)
