A truly wonderful person has left us. We mourn deeply and pray for comfort for those left behind.
To John’s family and to all those who knew him:
Please know that you and John are and will always remain in our thoughts and prayers. Your pain and loss are unfathomable and only known to you. Be comforted in knowing that John went to the Lord as the full-of-life and vibrant young man that you will always remember.
Be strong and live fully because you now live for him.
