Johnny B,
I want to thank you for loving us all so much. You mean the world to me, Spooky Daddy. I would not be the person I am today had I not known you.

John, I still can't believe you are gone. Your presence alone made rooms glow with joy. You were a great friend, and an even better person. The world will forever be a lesser place without you here. Rest easy, my friend.
To Johnny B...

Johnny B, you were one of my best friends and favorite roommates I've ever had the pleasure of living with throughout college. You were so kind and were always there for me. We shared SO many great memories that I will remember forever. I wouldn't be the person I am today if it weren't for you, and I thank you for that. I miss you and think about you everyday, until the day we meet again my brother...
Love Always,

Jackson and I miss you more than you could ever imagine. This family is not whole without you, my heart is not whole without you. You were a wonderful man and an exceptional father and friend, Jackson will grow up knowing this about you. We had a great life together and I will always treasure the incredible memories that we made together. Parenting with you was so much fun and I'm going to miss sharing these precious moments with you. Please look after Jackson and I until we can all be together someday. I love you, John!

We can't express our since of loss with mere words!! We considered you one of our other sons and our hearts now have a void that will never be filled! It is comforting to know that we will be together once again in eternity! We love you and will think of you often...you and that beautiful smile!

John,
You have impacted my life in so many ways and will always have a piece of my heart. You always know how to light up a room with your presence. Thank you for everything you've taught me, I will cherish it forever. My deepest condolences go to your family as you will truly be missed. I know many can say that they look forward to the time when we all see you again with open arms and that wonderful smile of yours.

Gorilla,
Not a day has gone by, that we haven't thought about you. We wish, more this week than ever, that we could give you a call and catch up on our lives with you. You had a way of always making me smile even when I was upset or going through something. I will always cherish our friendship more than you know. I still keep thinking that I'm going to see you at our next group gathering and you're going to say "hey Pony" and give me a big hug. It still doesn't seem real but I don't know that it ever will. Watching you with Jackson and Madison brought us such joy. You were an amazing father, fiancé, friend, brother, and son. I find comfort knowing that you are happy and at peace now. Love you so much and miss you always.

Johnni,
It still doesn't seem real you're not here anymore. I just wish I could hear your voice. You were my brother, you always will be. I've grown up with you. From you carrying me across a field in high school to standing beside me at my wedding. You're my bubba and I love you. You were always able to make me laugh or know when I just needed a hug. You were a musician, an athlete, incredibly intelligent, kind, open-minded, non-judgmental, giving, gracious and witty. Aside from those things you were an amazing daddy, son, brother, partner and friend. Our group promises to ALWAYS be there for Madison, Sharon, Mike, Beth and sweet Jackson. We'll make sure Jackson always knows how much you loved him and how great you were. It's amazing to have Jackson to hug, we still have a piece of you. You'll always be in our heart singing us a song on the guitar. Love and miss you always.

He was a "Turkey Day" child and each and every one of them is so precious to us, adults and "children" alike. Pink-cheeked in the (usually) brisk fall weather, he ran and climbed and set things on fire, as all the boys did. We are so lucky to have been a part of his life, to have experienced his charisma ( from his dad!) and sensitivity ( from his mom!) and wondrous sense of humor ( a gift from his Big Sister, Beth, no doubt!;)). His essence continues in Jackson and we are so lucky to have that little guy! Our dearest love and prayers are with Sharon, Mike, Beth, Thomas, Madison and Jackson, as well as his three "brothers". You young men made the memorial service so incredibly special, filled with the love and light that was John Michael Ammon.

My deepest condolences to the Ammon Family. John was a great person with a great smile. There was never a moment where he was not willing to smile and lend a hand. His life has touched the hearts of the OU Petroleum family and we will remember him for his kindness and smile. His family will stay in my thoughts and prayers. God Bless him and his family.
Regards,

What I will miss most, by far, about John is the way he made everyone he knew feel special. Even if you were a mere acquaintance you felt like you really meant something to him. He had a genuine compassion and gentle nature like no one I have ever met. This is a verse to a hymn I heard at our Christmas service that I wanted to share.

Mike, Sharon, and Beth, my deepest condolences are with you all right now. Jennifer Bodin is my soul-sister and best friend, and through her, I was lucky enough to create countless memories with John and "his brothers" while I was at OU. My long-distance boyfriend in Texas was sometimes unable to make it up to Oklahoma for various events, and in those instances, John was my date. Occasionally, I was lucky enough to be his. We were always "just friends" but the "just" doesn't convey how important that friendship was to me. When I saw John's smiling face and open arms, I felt comfortable, welcomed, and excited for a good time that was bound to ensue. I am so sorry for your loss. I can't begin to fathom the pain you all must be feeling. I am a better person as a result of being friends with John, and I'll always remember him and his big gorilla hugs. Peace and love to you all.

Finding the words to express my sorry to your entire family and all of Johnny B's friends is a struggle. How do you sum up a life like his? Honestly, I only knew Johnny for a couple of months when I first moved to Norman. But the few times we did hang out were some of the best nights of my life. I've attached a picture of him dancing on Fat Tuesday in 2011. A bunch of Normanites went out that night dancing at 747, then we made our way to his best friend, Morgan's, house, where he sat on the front porch and he played his guitar. I remember I hadn't seen him in ages and then ran into him on Campus Corner again and he was so, so nice. Anyone else probably would have forgotten little details, but he remembered things about my life and brought them up in conversation. It was the little things that made Johnny so remarkable. My thoughts and prayers go out to your family. May you find peace in this time of grief.

My wonderful memory of John was seeing him dancing with you, Sharon, at his sister's wedding. His love for you was oh so obvious during that dance. May he forever dance in your hearts. God, love and peace be with you.

I was both shocked and saddened to learn of John's passing - I had teased him the day before the easiest way I know how - ragging on the OU football team!
This has to serve as a lesson to hug our families tighter and hold our friends closer! Rest in peace John and I know The Lord will bring peace to your family and friends.

Ammon Family, I am so sorry to hear about John. John and my daughter Charli were childhood friends in pre-school and elementary school. I recently was cleaning out boxes and found a group shot of their pre-school class. We were discussing everyone in the photo and the good times they had. Our deepest sympathies, Tori and Charli New

Ammon Family, your son was such a blessing to me. When I moved to Edmond my sophomore year, John was one of the first people I met and he extended a rich, lasting friendship. He was genuine, his joy was contagious and I am truly grateful for the life he shared. I am praying that the "God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our affliction" will do just that in this time. I pray that your remember and celebrate his life well, because he shared, loved and lived a life worth celebrating! My condolences to you Ammon family.

Ammon Family,
I am so sorry for the loss of your relative. I only knew John for a short while of 6 years, but during that time I got to know John and was blessed to get that opportunity. John was a great man, was very intelligent at OU where we met and spent time studying together during those hard times in college. He always had a smile on his face and I rarely ever saw him in a bad mood. John opened the door to everyone and let everyone in for help and support and was a great friend. Looking back I always tried to be like John, as in trying to never sweat the small stuff, being a leader that he was, and to live life to the fullest but sometimes this is hard for a normal person, but John was far from normal: He was great! This is the type of example people need in life and I believe he led a great life and left us with some great memories.
I am praying for the family of John to get through this tough time and to always remember, don't cry or get upset because John would never want that. He would tell you from above to stay strong and keep on keepin on! Love ya John!

To the family of John Ammon,
I am heartbroken for the loss of John.
I considered him a great friend and brother in Christ.
I truly enjoyed our friendship and will greatly miss our conversations and working with him.
I pray today for our heavenly Father to embrace you with his great love and comfort you at this time and times to come.
“For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Rom 8:38
