To the Rezendes family, I am so sorry for your loss Johnny was an amazing young man with a bright smile and a kind heart. If he saw someone being left out or having a bad day he'd tell a joke and make the whole room full with laughter. Although I only knew Johnny as what feels like a short 4years I'm so grateful I had the chance to be graced by his presence. Rest in paradise Rez it's not goodbye it's see you later.

There are no words to express my deepest sorrow and sympathy for each of you.

I can only ask God to put his loving hand on each of your shoulders to soften the hardship of your tragic loss. May God shed light upon your darkness and may he give you strength when you need it most.

Know when you hear birds chirping on a warm sunny day .....Johnny is smiling and letting you know how much he loves you!
