John was always – ALWAYS smiling and laughing. He always made you feel special. He acted as if everyone was his best friend. He was special and he will be missed.
John had more courage than any person I know. Even in the worst times in the last few months I never heard him say “why me”. I will miss him very much.
Thank you to those that have written the beautiful words of sympathy and remembrance about my brother. I miss him terribly, and my pain right now is intense, having lost such an upbeat, funny, and sweet member of my family. John always found the humor in any situation, right up until the end. Barely able to talk, he was still making jokes and determined to make us smile. He loved his life, he loved Janet and her family, and he loved Oklahoma! He was always driving around, exploring the state, and so enthusiastic about anything new that he happened upon, such as a lovely hidden neighborhood, or a little lake out in the country. Godspeed, John, one day we will be with you, and you can show us around heaven! Love and hugs!
A beautiful full of life person.An example for all to live by. I will miss you everyday. Life will definitely not be as great without you.
My deep condolences and sympathy to you. The Bible makes this comforting promise: “Jehovah is near to those that are broken at heart; and those who are crushed in spirit he saves.” (Psalm 34:18) It is comforting to know that God has promised a resurrection hope soon. (John 5:28, 29)
