I was in complete shock after hearing of John's death. Although our paths hadn't crossed paths since High School, I was blessed to have kept in touch with him via Facebook. My prayers go out to John's family and his parents, Rev. Sebesta and Tig. May you find comfort in knowing that one day we will all be together again.

Dear Ones, I am so sad to hear of John's death. I am thinking back fondly of the times we shared at the beach and those early years in Crockett.

So very blessed to have Mr. Sebesta as one of my first bosses. I will never forget the day we met upstairs at Kroger in Bristol. Mr. Sebesta has a lot to do with who I am not only as an employee, but as a person. Thanks for always having my back Mr. S!

Really miss you! It was great to get to know you at Kroger. You got my husband grilling with charcoal after you gave us your ribs. I thank you for that and shall remember you forever!

I knew John from Slidell High School in Slidell,LA. He was always so much fun to be around and I feel honored to have been his friend. We lost touch after high school and then reconnected through Facebook years later. It was obvious how much he loved his family and how much he was loved in return. I truly feel the world is much less brighter without him in it. My warmest thoughts and prayers are with all of you.

I knew John in his Slidell, LA days. John's dad and my dad are both ministers and being a "PK" was something we would talk about. He was always sweet and fun. May God heal your hurting hearts.

So sorry.....What I remember most about John was how he would substitute for me at a nursery school I worked at while we were in high school. John would bring his guitar and play for the children. The children loved him. May he rest in peace and may God Bless him and your family.

John Sebesta, What a ride brother! We have cooked, sang, cried, and laughed about a ton of different things. You will always have a giant space in my heart. I miss you, and I can't believe your gone. You left so many great things in your wake. You have a heart of gold, and always made me want to be a better human. I remember the first time you and Josh came to the house and you made him run around my backyard to see if Isabelle would chase him. I remember getting you and Josh to sing Karaoke for the 1st time. The Holidays we would spend together, hell, I could go on forever. I only hope that I will see you again on the other side, and we will pick up where we left off. I love you and will never forget you my dear friend. I know that if there is a Heaven, you are there with a cold drink, a giant grill, watching the Saints, and L.S.U. win every game they play, all while telling everyone in heaven how awesome your son is. You are one of the greatest people I have ever known, and your son is pretty awesome! Rest easy John.
