I miss you uncle Johnny, but I know you wouldn't want us to be sad, because if you were here now, I know we'd be having such a blast and laughing so much. So I smile & think & feel wonderful whenever I think about you.

John was the first friend I had after moving to Anderson in the second half of 4th grade. We were best of friends from that time on. There was never a dull moment when you were with John. We had some amazing and wonderful adventures. Tim Pyle and myself even went to Europe when he was stationed there. He is well loved and deeply missed.

John was such a gentle soul, as a kid at Lindbergh Elementary, and right through his adult life as I see what is written about him. I am so sorry to hear about this tragedy, and send my condolences to all of his family.

Johnny was my closest friend. I planned on visiting him in mid April or early May. This morning as I was searching for an RCA clock and came across a lighted clock with an American Eagle with an American flag in the background that that I knew he would like, so I ordered it to take to him when I visited him. Well, around 11:00AM, Anna texted me with the bad news, so I guess I'll keep it as a memorial. So sad. 2-24-14 8:39PM

I would get propane at the store he worked at, and he would help me out with that. Such a nice guy, I was shocked when I heard about him today. So sorry for yall's loss. Wish I knew he was a vet before, I would have thanked him. Won't be the same when I go there no more. Praying for all of you.
