I remember Jovan very often. I still have his picture on my wall at work. It's been so long ago, but I still have great memories about his inspiration and example!

Oh my goodness, I had no idea. My deepest condolences to Jovan's family. He spent a lot of time painting my house many years ago and I just googled him to see where he was as I had lost track of him and wanted to get in touch. A wonderful and honorable person and I'm sure he is missed by many.
Daddy, Joey, Pogo

I thought it was a dream. I thought it wasn't real, but pain really hurts and it's how I feel. Memories stay with me and creep in my dreams and so do the tears. I hear your voice and see your smile, but just as fast as it came it disappears. I don't worrie Ill be ok because no matter what I keep you near.

Jovan it's very hard of me to find the words to exspress what a wonderful person you are and how much you mean to me.
"There is a sacredness in tears. They are not a mark of weakness, but of power. They speak more eloquently than ten thousand tongues. They are the messengers of overwhelming grief, of deep contrition, and of unspeakable Love."(W.I.)
Happy 48th Birthday Jovan!

There's not a day that goes by without me remembering Jovan's sweet and calm demeanor. As my memory tricks me and I can't remember where I left my pen or my glasses, I am reminded of your witty responses and then I know that I will find them "in the same place I left them".
You are always on my mind,

We will miss Jovan, he was a great Dad to his son Joey and he was a quiet, kind man with a good sense of humor. He never gave up on becoming a computer specialist and achieved his goal and dream job in Puerto Rico at his cousin, Luis' logistic company. We have so many fond memories. Love,
Kathy, George, Joey and Pogo

Your smile, your laugh, your sense of humor. When will I see you and where will I find you? Ah... I know, in a very special place where you have always been, in the bottom of my heart !

Jovan, you are sadly missed. You climbed mountains and helped others climb too by extending your hand. May God bless your family and loved ones.
