My heart is full of wonderful memories of Johnny from the day of his birth to the age of 16 when I last saw him. I love him dearly. Grandma

I’ve re-wrote this a couple times explaining what John loved and what he did best…I’ll just say my favorite things. John and his best friend Nick were the ones who always made me laugh harder than anyone else I know. From John’s stories and crazy behavior to his random sayings, he ALWAYS made me laugh so hard I cried.

He was truly the greatest man I have ever met. He brought so much joy and happiness into mine and so many other lives that he has become more than a hero, he's a legend. His stories will proceed him into many years to come and he will never be forgotten. He was the kind of man who had many close friends for many, many years. He never judged anybody and accepted every person he met for who they were.

No words can express the feelings of finding a child, then burying them less than a year later.

John, you will be missed by a lot of people. Myself and your sister have no words to say how much we miss you.

John was a close friend to my daughter Heather. He was 6 years younger so she always called him her 'little brother' and he called her 'sis'...

John stayed in our home several years back to visit Heather.

My thoughts and prayers are with the family and friends of John.

I didn't see you that much with you working Mids and taking fieldtrips (long ones) with the Army protecting our freedom. I was glad to see you come back to us...but I can't believe how short this was to be.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for keeping us free and taking care of others before yourself.

May your

I was always grateful for the friendship you had with Joe, you were and always will be one of his dearest friends. He will never forget you and nor will I. I feel like I know you so well just because of how much time you spent with Joe, all the memories you have with Joe, all the pictures and stories Joe has with you. We wanted to you to meet your son Peyton but I know you have probably
