John, Brandon & extended family, I was so extremely sad when I heard of Uncle John’s passing. He was so loving, kind and hard working. He was a quiet person unless you really knew him and if you did then you would see the man that loved making people laugh and smile. The deep love he had for his sons was easily seen when you were around them. He treasured those grandchildren and he was a grateful man for ALL that God had given him through his lifetime. In my younger years I spent a lot of time with John, Cindy and their 2 boys. I would babysit for them to work and did so for many years and I can’t think of not one time that he wasn’t in a great mood. He was a wonderful uncle to me and will forever have a special place in my heart. I will pray for God to wrap His arms around this family to give them comfort, love and a peace that surpasses all understanding. Burying our parents is so extremely hard but I hope each of you can at least know with certainty that he is no longer in pain or suffering. 2nd Corinthians 5:8 WE ARE CONFIDENT, I SAY AND WILLING RATHER TO BE ABSENT FROM THE BODY, AND TO BE PRESENT WITH THE LORD. Rejoice in knowing that God does promise we will be together again. I will continue to pray for each of you. Grief is the last act of love we have to give to those we loved. Where there is deep grief, there was great love. With all my love and prayers,

Pop I dont know where to begin! I know anytime I had a issue or problem I could always come to you and you would fix it or give me words of wisdom . I will always remember the good times we had and the bad like everytime I would get in trouble in school I would get off bus and go straight to the barn and wait on you .and you would come down there and have a long talk to me about what I did and what I should have done,and then of course it would end with a a$$ whooping. But times like that is who made me the man i am today and i wouldn't change any of it except keep you here with me longer but i know you at peace now and you are suffering nomore.So i will always remember you and have you in my heart .i miss you already ohhh so much. And cant wait to the day i walk to the pearly gates of heaven and see you there waiting for me to join you in everlasting life. I miss you Pop and Love you.
