Your love for life was so very apparent...your smile like sunshine, your eyes so bright--they smiled even when you weren't (though not often that you weren't smiling!)...your eyes and smile so full of mischievious fun and laughter, so you...every time I saw you, you made me feel good, made me smile---thank you John for the smiles...and now you are at more peace and with more contentment beside Jesus than any of us here are...I know you are watching over and with your family every second of everyday--help lift them out of this...your love forever in their hearts....Jeanine

Dils



Thanks for the laughs, you always ended a sentence with a wiley smile. I admired the path you took to enjoy life, you were always down to go along for the ride, and always one to offer a friendly greeting. I think of you everytime I am in my garden amongst your mother's rose bushes. I'll be seeing you.

Dils was a very good person and a very dear friend in all the years i knew him. I always knew him to treat all those around him with kindness and respect. What i love and will miss about him the most is his always smiling and his way of making sure that the people around him were always lauging and getting as much joy out of life as he did. I will miss him very, very much and i will be eternally greatful for all the laughter he shared with me. Rest in peace, god bless you. Forever your friend,

I couldn't believe it when my husband told me he was gone. Dills will be remembered by both of us always. The OUTRAGEOUS times I had would not have been the same without him around. I really wish I could be there for the funeral and see all the faces that are still dear to me. My heart goes out to you all. Im so sorry. He was one in a million! Ill never forget him... I dont think I could.

I remember this time when Sarah and me went to some band party out in the woods and we where makeing a trip back to the truck to get some more refreshments and we where talking about how we wished Dills was there parting with us. Now I know every one know's what happened next, out of the bushes comes Dills with his back pack and skateboard and says I am. Dills always told that story when we got together and I know Sarah and I will never forget that night. I will miss Dills very much and I will always miss the idea that he wanted to teach my Daughter how to skateboard but I am very grateful that he was able to hold Trinity once before he left all of us.



Love Him always
