George and Sarah I am so sorry for you loss. Your son had the biggest heart of anyone I ever known. John had an infectious smile and the best sense of humor, he made everyone laugh. I am so glad that he came into my life, he meant the world to me. I will miss him everyday.

My heartfelt sympathies to Johnny's family and friends. To know Johnny was to love him. I may not have seen him much over the years but he was always in my heart. Blessed to have seen him last year, so blessed to have grown up with him. Proud to have called him cousin. Rest in peace sweet Johnny. Gone but never ever forgotten. My prayers to the family.

George and Sarah and all family members, I am so sorry for your loss. I worked with John for 4.5 years and from day one we became close friends. Myself, John and the rest of the gang would meet at my house after work daily to relax from the work day. We all had nick names for one another and we called John, "JW" or "the Dub". Your son,uncle,cousin,grandpa, was an amazing warm hearted man that will be missed beyond infinity. John brought a once in a life time friendship to me and I thank God for the time spent with him. My sincere prays as the time of healing goes on. Greg Bentz

I'm Johns oldest sister and wanted all my North Carolina family, especially my Mom and Dad to know that my condolences go out to all of you who has lost a family member. I want you all to know that John died peacefully in his sleep. We had a wonderful celebration of his life here in Florida that was attended by about 200 folks. He was highly respected and loved by friends and work associates! John was my brother and my friend. We talked to each other several times a week and cooked out often! I'm at a total loss and will miss him deeply! He was also very generous to his family, friends and even strangers. He did random acts of giving! May he rest in peace and God help each and everyone of you with your loss!

An Angel whispered
take my hand and
come with me
you're work here is done.
I went away to a place
where there's no tears, nor sorrow
only laughter and smiles,
there will always be a Tomorrow.
As I move amongst the clouds.
I'll look down and smile upon you,
while the angels
sing a heavenly song.
I am not alone
all who went before
are here
they awaited my return.
I know you'll grieve
and wish I was still here
I am here in the memories
you hold dear.
Remember how much I
love you
and know I took your
love with me.
I did not wish for
you to cry, nor feel sad.
My pain is gone and
I am Free!
Soon you'll come to me
until then
God will be with you
Just as He's with me

Mr and Mrs. Wood, May God grant you peace and
comfort during this sad time.

my condolences to the Wood family, may your loved one sleep peacefully while awaiting the fulfillment of the beautiful promises of our loving God Jehovah. He has promised to awaken all those sleeping in death.(John 5:28,29) At that time your dear John will awaken to a world free from all of the distressing things of today. (Revelation 21:4,5)May you all find real comfort in God's word the bible. Take care
