Dear, sweet Johnny. You were always so sweet to me and my family. I have wonderful childhood memories at Media Lake, of you and Joey, Rene, Claudia, Uncle John and Aunt Norma. You were always smiling, or laughing, and always a joy to be around. Whenever we ran into each other along the way somewhere, later in life, you were always quick to ask about my family, especially my mom, Grandma Chole and Uncle Ralph. You are what we all aspire to be. May God embrace you and keep you by his side, and bless your family. We love you and are better for having known you. Love, your cousin, Becky and the
De Hoyos family. ¢½

John was an incredible Christian who exemplified Christ's life with all who came in contact with him. We will truly miss John, but we all know he is in a better place next to Jesus. It is also comforting to know he has such a wonderful family to carry on his legacy of Christ-like behavior.
With all of our love,

I know there are no words that can comfort the family . May God's peace that surpasses all understanding be with you and your family. Our family had the pleasure of meeting John through S.A.C.S. Our hearts are heavy knowing a good man was taken yet I know John is rejoicing with no more pain.
