John Fowler....just to hear the name brings many thoughts to mind, most of all, the many, many people who John lived to make feel okay about themselves. John had a rare quality, he truly LOVED the people in his life. He was the type of person who would do anything to make his friends happy, and I am glad to have been a part of that. Even though our friendship was short lived, i will never in my life forget the impact you made on me. You are much missed and I truly loved you......my heart is less whole without you here.... I cant wait for you to greet me in heaven, I miss you!

Jhon was a great guy he would chill with eney one regardless of who you were. I remember when I first met him I told him tht I liked his car and he sparked up a conversation. When he found out i was only twenty he would always say just whaight till your twentyone. Now it is tolate. He made alot of friends in a short time and we all will miss him. To his famly pleas be strong and frends dont cry he liked to have fun and woul want us to celebreate his life.

John changed me as a person. Before I met John I was a very shy person and from working at Best Buy he made me able to open up to people and to be myself and show the world who I really am. He always called me his "protege" and it would be no greater of an honor to be John Fowlers. John I love you and will never forget everything that I have learned form you. I will see you soon.

The the thing i will remeber the most about John was the smile he always had that made u fill good just to be around him. He will be deeply missed by everyone. my prayers go out to all our family and to all his friends.

I have known John over the last few months since working at Best Buy. We became really good friends over that course of time and I am going to miss him. I didn't realize what kind of friendship we had until now. John will be missed by alot of people including myself. I will always have the memories of all the good times we had together. I will always have the image of John smiling in my head. I am glad I had the great fortune of knowing John and being friends with him.

I have known John since we both started working at Best Buy about a year and a half ago. When I found out about what happened, I was completely torn apart. I honestly didn't believe that something that horrible could happen to such an awesome person. John was truly one of a kind. John was the type of person that you would turn to if you were the slightest bit unhappy. He just had this vibe that could cheer up anyone. John was a great friend, co-worker and person. There is no way that I could ever forget him. He is in a better place now, and we will all meet up with him later on. My prayers go out to his family and friends. We all miss you. Love you John.

I've only known John for six months from Best Buy, but in that six months i found a great friend. We used to sneak through the install bay to go have a smoke, and talk about his crazy night before. Today, work didn't seem the same and smoke breaks seemed lonley, nothing just seemed right. i found myself going to the middle of the store where we all usually meet and no one was there. John was just always that guy and that guy will always be missed. There is so many things i want to say but to me this whole thing feels like a bad dream. The phone call, newspaper articles, and even writing this just doesn't seem real. My last words to John... you will be greatly missed by me and everyone else. I guess god has bigger plans for you, however, i know that one day we will have that smoke break again.. so bye for now.
Glad to have know you, Travis

John was a great friend to me. I never met one person who didnt think he was a great guy. He was always there for me. Ever since I met him working at Best buy we were close friends. If ever I was sad or down, he would always cheer me up. If I ever needed advice I went to him. John is the perfect example of a good friend. He even got the same exact tattoo as me and 2 other friends, just to show friendship, we were all like brothers. He was always real. John was one of the smartest people I had ever met. Ill never forget all the good times we shared with our other friends. I will miss you deeply John. You truly were a great friend.

I've only known John for a few months now. I was completely speechless today when I heard the news about what had happened to him. Honestly, although I had only known him for a short time, he had to be one of the best people I have ever met. Speaking of him in the past tense breaks my heart. John was one of the few people that I knew who could always put a smile on my face and those around him. Being upset around him wasn't an option and having fun was a must. It horrible that such a great person had to go so soon. John had so much potential and such a great personality. Although out of sight you will always be in my mind and heart. My prayers go out to you and your family and all of your friends affected by this tradgedy.

I've only known John for about a year and a few months but what a great person. There wasnt one day he wouldn't put a smile on a persons face. There would be days where we both would be just talkin about random things while he was on his break, ill never forget those times. He will be missed very much. Im prayin for you john.

I am honestly sitting here shook that John has passed on. Speechless and in shock... I only knew John for about 10 months and really knew him for like 6. Best Buy has always felt like family to me from day one and still does. I will never forget his kindness and truly feel like I have lost a family member. He will be missed but never forgotten.

Why must a man's life be taken from us at such a young age? A man with a bright future ahead of him. A man who had a heart of gold. A friend....a friend that i called mine. You will be missed, John.

I knew John for about a 1 1/2 years. I worked with him at Best Buy. We are like a big family there. What a lot of people loved about John was that if you were his friend then you were like family. He didn’t care if you were rich or poor, or what you looked like. He was like a brother to us, whom knew him. We will miss you. He's looking down on us now.

Every once in a while, you will meet a person that makes an impression on your life. No matter how how major or how minor, an impression nonetheless. I have known Mister Fowler and the impression was that of a person who was living life. He was always smiling and always in good spirits. A good man that will be remembered. Something else is meant for him though. A good soul was taken from us and sent back home. GOD has another plan for him. I will see him again and will know it when I do.
My thoughts are with his family and my prayers are to give them strength and understanding.

I've known Mr. Fowler for merely a few months but the impression he made on me will never be forgotten. Never without a smile and never without a freiendly word for friends or strangers. I will miss dearly and remember the few moments that he impressed upon me. He has moved on and is preparing for the rest of eternity. I pray for his family and for his soul.
