I’ve only known John for a short while, but our kindred spirit was undeniable! He fought a good fight and kept the faith -- his FAITH is now SIGHT!!!! And I couldn’t be more excited for him!!!
John, I will deeply miss your insight, passion, excitement and (all be em lengthy) comments during our Monday evening “Pizza and Prophesy” meetings. I’ll see you again in just a little while over yonder!!!!
Hugs to Mrs. Clara.

John was a source of spiritual encouragement and his devotion to Jesus was inspiring and humbling. His desire to serve and witness for Jesus was evident in word and deed. To know John was to know his passion for Jesus.
