John Coughlin

Michael, sending prayers and condolences your way. I know it does not get easier

Think of you often Mike

I am sorry for your loss. Trusting in Divine Mercy, all things are possible. May John rest in peace, in Jesus' name, I pray. Amen. -Mike Seeger

A world without John is a colder and darker place. I will always remember John's smile and unique ability to bring everyone and anyone together. John had the heart and soul of a champion. John was a champion not only in his own right as a skater, but a champion of his friends, peers, students and family. John was so loving and so beloved by so many. Although his life was tragically shortened, it was certainly a life well lived and one with many accomplishments and lots of love, smiles, and laughter. I will always know and remember John as a kind and beautiful soul. Sending much love to John's sister Angela and father Michael.

I did not know John, but I did know him from his skating, and enjoyed watching him many times. I send healing and grace to all his family and friends. God will watch over him and he will watch over all of you. May his gentle soul Rest In Peace.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

Dear Michael and Angela: May God bless your son and brother, John , and all your grieving family, as well as all his numerous friends in and outside of the figure skating community who mourn his loss. On a personal level, beyond just his skating talent, John obviously was many wonderful things to many people ,judging by the numerous online condolences and comments to the various news articles which have appeared after his death. Most notable ,perhaps, are the beautiful, heartfelt tributes from so many parents of skaters John coached , who have expressed their gratitude for the supportive and caring way he treated their children. May his gentle and kind soul rest in perpetual peace.

I was John's third grade teacher at Indian Creek Elementary in Center School District. I remember him as a bright, caring, and talented student. On one of his skating tours, he emailed me just to say hi and let me know he still remembered me. I am sad to hear of his passing. He made me proud to have once been a part of his life.

Those of us who have watched, enjoyed and cheered John as he grew and excelled through the years, are so deeply saddened. So many share in this huge loss but nothing can compare to yours. God bless!

I cannot adequately find the words that express my deepest deepest sorrow of Johns passing. I am keeping you all in my prayers.

My sincere condolences to your family for the loss of your loved one. May the God of comfort be with you during this sad occasion and may his loving words at John 6:40 console your heart.

My deepest sympathy goes out the the family. Sherry, Kevin and Joan

Mike you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

John was a good coach who helped me so much! His smile and caring personality will forever be missed. I am so sorry for your loss.

I miss John. I will be there Monday to show my support. He was so kind and loving. I will always remember him smiling. Always smiling. I'm sorry for your loss. He is a loss for the whole world. My prayers are with you both.

You are in my thoughts and prayers. Words can not express my sadness. May the Lord give you peace, understanding and strength. I know Nikk would be heartbroken if he were here, but he will welcome John home in heaven. Cher Thompson

Now there is a little less light in the world, sadly.

This enormous loss is not in vain.

My condolences to the family. May the wonderful memories of your loved one comfort you until the God of love promises are fulfilled. 1 Thessalonians 4:13,14
