John was a rock of stability and care and love and ability. While I did not see him much as his next door neighbor I did when he would return to help his mother. I think he was the son that every mother hoped hers would be.
God graced us all with John's presence and being.

I will always remember John from my younger years in Kansas City. He was always kind and smiling. I dare say he was one of my first crushes! My heart and prayers go out to his family, especially his children. May you find peace in the smallest memories of happiness and hope in a future that is bright in the Gospel.
