John is gone now 12 years, I lost touch with him when he left Cumming. He worked for me here and I considered him to be one of my close friends. I think of him often and honestly didn't realize that he had been gone for so long. I miss my friend.
John was my loving brother. Too many good memories to mention
John, I have lots of great memories of us growing up, I find comfort knowing you are not suffering and are rejoicing in heaven I will miss you but I know we will meet again one day.
Love you, brother Jim

I have so many wonderful memories of you Johnny, from early childhood to adulthood. I have always loved to hear you sing and play and will always treasure all of the memories I have of all of our family get togethers and the music that was always a huge part of those get togethers. I love you Uncle Johnny. May you rest in peace.
Oh how I mourn the loss of you.
I hear your songs in my head. I see your smile in every cord you played on that guitar and watched you as you looked above while singing to our heavens.
I hear the words, "Heyyyyyy Kimmmmy" I remember the laughs I remember the God given love you had for each one of we family members.
Yes. Dear Uncle John, you were a true angel. You left many footprints in each of our hearts. Especially mine.
I will forever love you and miss you dearly.
Say hello to my Daddy for me.
Love,
Kimmy
For Coletta and Family,
If John could write from Heaven, this is what I feel he would say,
Please don't miss me to much I'm with you throughout the day.
You may not see or hear me but if you're quiet and still, you may just feel my presence.
Don't worry for the day, it will come and go as planned,
Enjoy each moment you are given , keep worry from your hand.
Keep sorrow to a minimum for if Heaven you could see, You'd know I'm safe and happy, I did not cease to be.
Moments in time are brief until we"ll be together again.
As enternity last forever-Our lives, have no end.
God Bless you.
Marie, Karla & Tammy
Dear Family. Johnny was Gods angel. I have so many good memories of him. I enjoyed so much when we all got together sang & played music. I will sadly miss him. I will pray for all of the family. Tell my love hi for me. I know they both are together. May God be with all of you.
Love to all of you,
Sheila
Those we love don't go away, they walk beside us every day.
Unseen, unheard, but always near; still loved, still missed and very dear.
In Jesus own words, John 5; 28 “Do not be amazed at this, for a time is coming when ALL who are in their graves will hear his voice 29 and come out—those who have done what is good will rise to live"
I know that Uncle John was a saved man. How? Because he himself told me that he had trusted in Christ. There is no better evidence than that confession.
R.I.P. Uncle John
MY DEAR BROTHER, IT HAS BEEN TWO MONTHS ALMOST SINCE YOU WENT TO BE WITH YO. UR JESUS. WHILE MY SPIRIT IS JOYFUL FOR YOU, MY MORTAL FLESH MISSES YOU TREMENDOUSLY. I LOST MY BEST FRIEND. HONEY, I WIL BE SEEING YOU AGAIN ONE DAY WHEN I LOOK IN THE GLORIOUS FACE OF MY SAVIOR. UNTIL THEN I WILL BE MISSING AND LOVING YOU.B
John was a good uncle, and I have a lot of great memories with him. I'm sad to see you go, but I will not mourn because this isn't a life that has just ended, rather, it is a celebration of a newness of life that has just begun. And one that will last forever because of the grace of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. We will play music and sing again, so keep for me a spot in the band, so when Jesus calls me home, I won't have to play alone, and I can sit down and jam with my friend.
God Bless,
Greg
When I think of Uncle Johnny, I think of his laugh. He loved to cut up and loved to laugh. We will miss you Uncle and the laughter you shared.
Uncle John I will never forget you. I love the memories of all the family gatherings and like every one else the music. No one could play that piano like you! All the big dogs you had when we were kids. Those were the days. Now you are starting a new life with the Lord and I am so grateful you are at peace and not carrying any pain. Hug and kiss my daddy and I know he is glad to have you by his side. I love you Uncle Johnny and you will be missed dearly. We will all be together again.
2 Corinthians 5
New King James Version (NKJV)
Assurance of the Resurrection
5 For we know that if our earthly house, this tent, is destroyed, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. 2 For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed with our habitation which is from heaven, 3 if indeed, having been clothed, we shall not be found naked. 4 For we who are in this tent groan, being burdened, not because we want to be unclothed, but further clothed, that mortality may be swallowed up by life. 5 Now He who has prepared us for this very thing is God, who also has given us the Spirit as a guarantee.
6 So we are always confident, knowing that while we are at home in the body we are absent from the Lord. 7 For we walk by faith, not by sight. 8 We are confident, yes, well pleased rather to be absent from the body and to be present with the Lord.
At most funerals they turn a sinner into a saint. No matter what they did or believed in their time on Earth they are going to paradise. It is just not true. They comfort the living ones with.....they are looking down on you...., they are at peace..ect..which is false. Uncle John, was a believer in Christ and the Gospel. That means a lot. The religious person relys on mans efforts to be saved and doesnt like what the Gospel says of God's Grace. It is so simple most will not accept the simple free gift given by Christ. Luke 18:17; Truly I tell you, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.”
Uncle John accepted this simple fact, and he witnessed to others as much as he could on the road, when he was driving his Semi Truck around the States.
You are in our thoughts and prayers. Thanks for all of the memories.
Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.
Was a very dear friend from Muncie In.
Aunt Collette,
Our thoughts and prayers go out to you.

I'll miss you friend. You were with me throughout the years.
I remember working on the Muncie Police Dept. with John, he was a good officer. I went to a call one night to some peoples house near the University. The lady seen the name on my name tag and asked me if I was related to John. I told them I was. She told me that they had wond the lndiana lottery, and that they had heard about John when he first got sicke, and that they had donated a lot of money to help him out. I thought that was great and very interesting. I am sad I couldn't make his funneral, but I had a hectic work week and couldn't get off do to training and a shortage of manpower. I talked to John on the phone a few weeks ago and told him I loved him. Whenever I asked him how he was doing, he always said, "If I was doing any better, I couldn't stand it!" John had a great attitude and kept it until the end. As I have said, he was one of a kind. A big personality and he will greatly be missed.
I am so sorry for your loss, Coletta. I will keep you and John in my thoughts and prayers.
May the blessings of love be upon you
May its peace abide with you
May its essence illuminate your heart
Now and forever more . . . .
TO MY LOVING HUSBAND,
YOU WILL ALWAYS REMAIN THE LOVE OF MY LIFE, ALL THE "SPECIAL MOMENTS OF "OUR LIVES WILL NEVER CHANGE. THEY WILL ALWAYS BE IN MY HEART,TODAY AND FOREVER. YOU WILL ALWAYS BE CLOSE TO ME IN SPIRIT AND IN THOUGHT. I MISS YOU SO VERY MUCH, BUT I KNOW IN MY MIND AND IN MY HEART ,SOMEDAY WE WILL BE TOGETHER AGAIN IN LIFE EVERLASTING.
I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU WITH ALL MY HEART AND GOD'S SOUL, COLETTE
