Dear Scarlett, Mr & Mrs Donald, little Zara and all of the family, I knew John from growing up in Mt Pleasant, basically middle school through high school. Its been a while since I've seen him but we had some great times back in the day and I will remember the laughs we shared. I'll also remember him as one of the easiest going people to be around and just his genuine smile and good nature toward everyone. All of you are in mine and my families prayers. God Bless ya'll.

I am so very sorry for your loss. I cannot even imagine the pain you are going through. My thoughts and prayers are with you both and remember God doesn't give us more than we can handle.I will always remember John as being that cute little teenager when we would get together at your house so many years ago.

I feel lucky to have you as a friend. Our time was too short but I feel blessed that you are watching out for us from above. You were right back in May when you told me God is good... All the time. Those are words to live by and I will carry them with me forever. Love always my friend.
