Words cannot express how saddened I am to hear about my cousin's passing. My heart goes out to Deborah and family, Aunt Vernell, Benita and Renee. May God comfort you. Most of all, I will miss John's laugh, smile and great sense of humor. My prayers are with all of you. Much Love.

My deepest condolences. I am so sorry to hear of this news. Although I had not seen you in such a long time, John, I remember how much fun you were to be around. I remember way back and you gave me my first motorcycle ride on the back of your bike while hanging out at Aunt Ethel's. I am sure you will be missed but not forgotten.
