I love you Daddy. I'm having an extra hard day, missing you so much. I want to call you, want you to answer and say something silly. The boy's and I miss you. I love you.

I have been fishing with John since I was around three years old. I had a ton of fun times catching crappie at Mark Twain lake with my papa, (Gary Hedden) and John Boy. I will miss John, my favorite fishing buddy.

John was one of my oldest and dearest friends. He had a big personality with a crazy quick wit. He was loving and giving to a fault. He would rather give than receive, but he will receive what he needed in heaven, I'm quit sure! I will miss him forever.

You will be missed by many, you were a very special person! I will always love you with all my heart!

I am so very sorry to learn of John's passing. He was a big brother to me when I needed guidance in my teen years. I will never forget everything you & Gary did for me. You guys kept me out of a lot of trouble. I hope you knew how much it meant to me when you had to listen to the silly problems of a teenage girl. Thanks for being there for me. Though you leave an empty space in our hearts, heaven has gained a shining star.

Roaring lion, sweet teddy bear, charitable and giving. Our loss is heaven's gain. I hope all of the countertops in heaven are granite, dude, or you will surely bully them into it. Love to my friend. Mike and I will miss you so much. Kelly ("The Egg")

Forever in my heart.... forever alive in our Daughter. Try not to fish out the lakes in Heaven ok? I'm sure my Dad would like to catch a few! I'm going to miss you in ways you never knew, but that I never forgot. Whenever the snow is heavy on the ground, I will picture the man I fell in love with in his heavy parka, and icicles hanging in his beard. You were always my knight, even when you were no longer my husband. Some things never change. Love eternal, Angie
