John K.
Just like the greatest Rock n Roll song ever, you can never truly leave us.
My mind will frequent over the tune of your spirit.
My memories of all of our adventures and laughs engraved into my head.
The vibrance of your being, the mischief of your ways,
the way that you could brighten even England's darkest days.
I cannot even justify by saying you will be missed because the truth is unworthy for human words. You are in too many hearts to ever let your soul stray far. This I know for sure, you are Loved, armed with your guitar singing your song above.
I will think of you always, and pray for those dear to you.
