At Emory last July, I presented John with a hand turned mug as a small thank you for all the sacrifice he had made in spending 2 days with me at the NJCL convention. Besides talking about me on the stage, he assembled the video of some of my former students remembering me, and he helped me with a fund raiser. Later he stated that he was using the mug to enjoy his hot tea each morning. He sent me this picture to illustrate this.

John was like a son to me and my wife Dee. John was my JCL president in 1994, his senior year. The number of things John did for me would fill pages. He served as one of my groomsmen in 1994. Most recently, he spent two days with me at Emory University in Atlanta at the NJCL convention, where he and Tina Riddle presented me with the Silver Bowl Award for having attended 20 NJCL conventions. His memory will be never ending, and I shall see him again when we meet on that beautiful shore in the sweet by and by.

Johnathan (IconicGreatness) was simply the best. Standing six feet tall or more, he was a very gentle giant. He was the epitome of Style, Grace and Intelligence, flaunting a true genuine authentic character. John took advantage of every situation that he engaged to lift every and anyone up. Today my heart is heavy, and I don't want to say goodbye. I'm thankful to God for John and the time that I was able to share in his IconicGreatness here on earth. I will truly miss you greatly cousin! You were Simply The BEST!!!

My beauty industry little brother! Wise beyond his years! He was ALWAYS willing to help... on the night of our beauty industry fundraising event DHC BEAUTY BASH I pulled him aside and ask that he help Triphena and I present our Vanguard award to his former boss & mentor Shawn Tollerson... needless to say when he spoke there wasn´t a dry eye in the room! He & his larger than life presence will be sorely missed! Rest Well King!

I remember Johnathan in so many ways. I remember when he was Brand Manager at Soft Sheen Products, and working on the Megahertz styling line launch as well when I hired him to consult on a brand at another product company with Rob Willis and me. He was a great guy in all aspects. I will miss him.
