J.D. was a great classmate and high school friend. I'm greatly saddened to hear of his passing. So many memories and simply not enough room to express them. My thoughts and prayers are with his family and I pray that God will provide His comfort during this difficult time.

I remember playing with JD when we were kids. I remember sitting next to him in math class in 6th grade and he always made me laugh. He was a really funny guy- smart too. I'm sorry to hear he's gone, but I'll always remember his sense of humor. I hope you do too.

J.D.

There are no words to express what I felt to find that you're gone. Well, God bless you and may your spirit rest in God's perfect peace. You'll be gone in the flesh but your spirit will live forever in my heart.

I have such fond memories of JD from St. John's College. He sat next to me in my first class and made my introduction to graduate school a pleasant one. He was such an avid student and always full of the most wonderful stories and jokes. I wish we had kept in touch.

JD,

you will always live on in my heart. You were one of my best friends, there when I needed a shoulder to cry on, or a smile to brighten my day. You will be sadly missed, but I know you are in a far better place. Take Care my friend.

Love Always,

Traci
