I can't express enough the sadness I feel for John's family and friends. I've known him for a very long time, and I can say that he really knew how to light up a room when he entered it. He had a great sense of humor and charm. He will be greatly missed by everyone who knew him.

Words can not express the sadness I feel in my heart for John's family. I have many great memories of watching him grow from a little boy to a young man and how he loved Brandon, Scott and Ryan like they were his little brothers. The world has lost a fine man but heaven as gained a precious angel. Much love, thoughts and prayers to the Wainwright and Strickland families.
