From the moment he came into our family, we knew John was special and we were right. He had the best parents in Ken & Paula who poured the best of themselves into him. His grandparents, Bill & Mary Ann bonded the whole family together with love, laughter, celebrations, & special occasions—always making the grandchildren shine. My special memory of John as a little guy was having him play his little violin for me when we visited Phoenix. And that smile!! We had a special time when he stayed with us during his audition for the military bands. Of course, i was always thrilled that he loved music & was he ever gifted! What a pleasure he was to be with. We will miss him terribly. Our lives are blessed because he was a part of us. We will see you soon, John. Love, Aunt Twyla
John- I will miss you very much. Your smile and laughter filled our house. I will miss our daily talks and hearing about your day. I will miss hearing about your football teams, how your disk golf round went and how your chess games were going. Your love for my daughter shined through everything you did- I am so very grateful to you for filling her life with so much love. I will carry you in my heart, remembering your musical talent, your sense of humor, your love of StarWars, and your enthusiasm for unique board games. Rest In Peace sweet John - I know your are looking down on us from Heaven. -Love Stacey ❤️
