We had only met John a handful of times however we know how much he was loved by Bj, Leanna, and Amy through their stories and memories they have shared.

I remember meeting John for the first time as the young man who sat on my back porch one evening as he visited us with Bj and Leanna. John's face full of pride and his heart full of joy as he told me all about his love for his son Bentley. 

 I will smile each and every time I think of John helping Leanna search for clues and count every item at Leanna & Bj's baby reveal in an attempt to determine the gender of their son before the actual reveal.

Our hearts aches deeply for John's family. We pray that peace comes quickly to their lives so that it is easier for them to remember all their memories with more smiles than tears.

I remember first time I met Jr.he was dating my granddaughter at the time. He celebrated Christmas one year with our family met about 20 family members and everyone liked him right away. He was one of those people even though we just met him we felt like he was part of the family. Love and prayers to all of his family. God Bless You Jr.
