JOHN WILL BE REMEMBERED AS A LOVING HUSBAND, ADORING FATHER & GRANDFATHER, KIND SIBLING, AND LOYAL FRIEND TO MANY. HIS CARING AND LIGHT- HEARTED NATURE DEFINED THE MAN HE WAS. HE WILL BE MISSED DEARLY BY THE PEOPLE WHO WERE FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO KNOW HIM AND LAUGH WITH HIM. THROUGHOUT HIS LIFE, JOHN ALWAYS PUT HIS LOVED-ONES BEFORE HIMSELF AND HE PROVED THIS BY WORKING HARD EVERYDAY TO PROVIDE FOR HIS FAMILY. JOHN’S PASSIONS INCLUDED SPORTS, FOOD, WOODWORKING, AND LAUGHING WITH HIS FRIENDS AND FAMILY. HIS PRECIOUS LIFE WITH US HAS PASSED BUT HIS CHARACTER WILL FOREVER BE CELEBRATED AND REMEMBERED THROUGH HIS FUN-LOVING SPIRIT THAT INSPIRED US ALL TO LIVE EACH DAY TO THE FULLEST. JOHN KNEW THAT IN THE END ONLY THREE THINGS MATTER; HOW MUCH YOU LOVED, HOW GENTLY YOU LIVED, AND HOW GRACEFULLY YOU LET GO OF THINGS NOT MEANT FOR YOU.
