i met john in 2015 when i first moved here we became friends almost instantly. i remember always hanging out with him on his house on valley st in minot. he had this hamster humphrey he would always talk about and show me whenever i would come over. or always our little friend group hanging out at the roosevelt park or under the white bridge close to there. we would all always walk around town and just explore. he really enjoyed the nature he loved science, i remember in high school being in history class with him he was such an intelligent, very loving caring man. i regret and am so mad i didn’t say hi to you when you were working at the clarion at the meet the author event you were just so busy kicking ass like you always would! i will cherish all the memories as we don’t have photos but they will forever play on repeat in my head. there is sooo much more that just won’t fit, i will forever and always think of you when i see the number 33 you loved that number. john forever 24 fly high such a beautiful soul ️
