John LeBret

Can't believe it has been 10 years since John passed away... he was a really sweet guy, funny & kind to everyone. He is still remembered fondly (and missed) by many, many people. RIP, John.

I miss him every day. John is a fantastic person, caring, giving, outgoing, positive, and so much more. I know so many people miss him. Love, John

I miss you so much you touched me and so many others. You are truly a gift to all of us. I miss you every day. I love you and can't wait to see you one day. Hugs

I am very sad to learn of John's passing. I came to know him as a Spanish Town "landmom" to a string of wonderful Communications Studies folk dating back a decade. They all formed the most unique and interesting extended family of which he was an intricate part. He always reminded me of a sprite, glowing with that kind of magic light. My heart goes out to all of you who were and are a part of that family as well as to his mother and dad and brothers.

RIP John. Have a lot of good memories from high school. Debate class wouldn't have been the same without you.

John -- you were and always will be an angel to me. I dreamed of the day when I could tell you the endless and amazing impact you had on my life. And I guess that day has finally come. So thank you John. I will carry your glorious spirit in my life forever.

John knew more about living life joyfully and lovingly than anyone I have ever known. I will always feel blessed to have you in my life, and I will love you always.

John was, in a word, awesome. I had an introduction to film class with him, and his love for the art came through in everything he did. But beyond being a great teacher, he was a great guy. Always willing to help us, challenge us, and offer words of support. Such a talented and amazing young guy. The Communications department won't be the same without him, but those he taught will continue his great work for many years to come.

John was always such a warm and welcoming soul to those around him, and I remember him fondly from when I was a new student in Oak Harbor and then continued friendship throughout high school. It's wonderful to read about all the lives he touched beyond. He will truly be missed but his spirit will shine on in those he knew and loved, and those who loved him. Rest well in God's arms, John. We will never forget you or your charms.

Memories I have of him, he had a smile that would light up a room.

John was such a great guy. Always had me laughing in high school. He will be greatly missed by all who knew him. Thanks for the laughs, John.

A great man lost too soon. Great memories of John in HS. You will be missed.

John was a great guy! Such talent will be missed. My thoughts are with his family. I knew John in high school; truly one of a kind!

I knew John in high school he was a kind soul rip sir. What a accomplished man

I love and miss you. I promise I will fill your nephew's head with all the wicked little fun things you would have provided for him.

A great loss not just to students but to anyone who ever knew him.

So sorry to hear about John he was a very good tenant and friend, I will miss him.

Just heard the terrible news of John's passing. My heart & prayers go out to all his family & friends. I'm sure that you all are proud of all his accomplishments & just being himself. I'm sure that God is drawn closer to us who mourn & that his plan for us will be sufficient to get us through these most trying times. God give you peace & tranquility during this time of a parents greatest loss, a son or daughter. Never feel alone, for i & many others are forced to take that journey. Together, we will see it through with everlasting love & the hope that we will be joined once again.

To John's family. he was a very special friend to our daughter.They went to Eastern together. We often saw him when she brought him home for the weekend. Even though they were not a couple-just incredibly good friends, we formed a bond with him. We send our love and prayers and blessings to you all his family. May you have the strength to get throu this. Alice and Carl Alexander

Our deepest condolences to Becky and family.

My prayers, love and special thoughts to John's family especially Becky and Caleb. Right from the "get go" John, you were such a vibrant caring soul. YOUR kindness and thoughtfulness shone over and over through out your middle school and high school years when there are so many challenges. You always had the best hat collection too. Then when you started teaching and later earned your doctorate at my alma mater across the country from where you were my student, pretty special. You were a remarkable young man, it was my privilege to be a small part of your life and you will not be forgotten. Our families have so many wonderful shared memories. John, I will continue to be there for and with your mom, my high school chum, so continue to help us stay out of trouble/mischief as you so often said you had too with your ear to ear smile. Big hugs.

Rest in peace, friend. We shall miss you.
