I’m so sorry for your loss as it’s also anyone who knew John John’s loss as well, and he was known by many. Out of the many I can honestly say I bet not one could have anything but good things to say about him. He was a kind and genuine person with nothing fake about him, he is and will be truly missed.

Oh Cindy I can’t believe this. You finally met the man of your dreams and was so happy. My husband (who worked with John John at AAM) and I are so sorry for your loss.
So sorry to hear about John John’s death. He was a childhood neighbor and good friend. The group of us neighborhood kids spent a lot of time together building camps in the woods, riding bikes, hanging out in his house in “Grandpa’s Room”, working at the drive-in, etc. My condolences to Cindy, Jennifer, Jimmy and Timmy and also to his current friends and family whom I have not met. He will be missed!
Jim, so sorry for the loss of your brother. May God Bless you during this time. Will keep you and your family in my prayers.
Cindy, I’m so devastated for your loss and his family’s. I wish I had gotten to meet him. You had nothing but good things to say about John and I am so sorry that you finally found the love of your life and we did say a prayer for you last night at Bible study. There are no words to describe how you must be feeling and his family also. We have been friends for 32 yrs and all my love goes out to you. If you need anything day or night reach out to me. Again this is a great loss for you so young. I love you with all my heart and you will remain in my prayers. Wish I could be there for you.
