John lived his life loving and serving his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. He was a very devoted loving husband and father. He had a love for his wife, his soulmate, that was unyielding and never swayed from its path of pure, simple, true love. John loved spending his time cooking, cheering on the Georgia Bulldogs, playing guitar, spending time with family in the sunshine, dancing in the kitchen with his wife, and helping others.

Stacia, I was shocked and terribly saddened to hear of John's death. It was such a pleasure when I came in contact with him at MUSC. I remember him as always having a smile on his face and being warm and friendly. My sincere condolences to you and all of your family.

I took this in May 2018, teasing him about being the "Bionic Man". Gone far too soon.

Stacia,

May God shine his light and grace on you and your family, and give you the strength and resolve to mourn his transition yet still celebrate living as only John clearly did with you. I will miss the my fellow story-teller...he was one for the ages.

John always had a story, and usually a good one if not a long one. It was always fun to reminisce about the old CCIT days. I hope the company of friends and family bring you comfort in this difficult time, and let your MUSC family know if we can be of assistance to you.

Stacia, I pray that God puts His arms around you and the family and gives you the comfort you need during this time. It is still very recent for me. The pain is real. Allow yourself time to grieve but allow yourself to smile at the memories of John. He was a great man and a wonderful loving husband and father. You will see him again one day. Your life will be a roller coaster for some time, but if you need someone to talk to or a shoulder to cry on, know that I am here for you. My deepest condolences ... Lori
