    I am so deeply saddened by the loss of John.
    Having him join our club a little over a year ago, he quickly became someone you could rely on.. A great friend and a great brother. John was great example for other young men, He was polite, well mannered, respectful and trustworthy.
    My wife and I had the absolute pleasure of spending the day with him and Taylor on that Saturday. We had a great day, laughed a lot, rode side by side, told stories. I learned of his “deer” incident and all about his baby. At first I thought he meant “Baby”, but it was his shovelhead. We had a really good time.
    My condolences to his Mom and Dad, and all the family and friends.. I will miss John very much.. He has my complete respect.

    There are no words to bring you comfort in your time of sorrow and mourning. He was a good friend to my niece Renee and nephew Rayson and I remember meeting him a time or 2 many years ago. Please except my condolences and I pray that you will soon have peace

    As a boy growing up, Johnny always showed up with his huge smile quickly finding something fun to get into (and inviting others to join right in. Sometimes he was goofy, with that smile almost too big for his little face back then, and Johnny always had a big, tender heart.
    The grief of Johnny’s family and friends is testament to this young man, gone too soon.
