John Rucker Jr. Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Sep. 14, 2021.

I'm Free - Unknown


Don't grieve for me, for now I'm free,
I'm following the path God laid for me.
I took his hand when I heard his call,
I turned my back and left it all.


I could not stay another day,
To laugh, to love, to work, to play.
Tasks left undone must stay that way,
I've found that peace at the close of the day.


If my parting has left a void,
Then fill it with remembered joy.
A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss,
Ah yes, these things I too will miss.


Be not burdened with times of sorrow,
I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow.
My Life's been full, I savoured much,
Good friends, good times, a loved one's touch,


Perhaps my time seemed all too brief,
Don't lengthen it now with undue grief.
Lift up your heart and share with me,
God wanted me now, He set me free.

It still doesn't seem real after all this time. What a beautiful soul! I have loved you for so long and I'm grateful to have had you for the time I did daddy. You left behind 14 children who love you so much. We'll never let your "babies" forget you nor this world. Rest peacefully soldier. And thank you for my smile.

Hey Dad, 3 days ago marked 3 years since we said goodbye to you. It's crazy to believe. Time marches on. All 14 of us kids miss you and talk about you often. We tell your grandbabies and great-grandbabies about you too. Rest well.

John was a co-worker of mine for many years. We became friends. Later I became his supervisor. If John was your friend, he was a true friend. I really just now found out that he had passed away. My sympathy and condolences go out to his family. He was very proud of his family. My prayers go out to you in your bereavement. May God comfort you.
