John was also a dear uncle, cousin and friend to many, and will be missed dearly, by all who knew him.

Memorials can be made in memory of John, to St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital, Heifer International or Presbyterian Children’s Homes and Services.
I will always remember how John connected with my son when he came into the office with me. My son would go to John’s office to look for him whenever he came to work with me. My son is a quiet child and John knew how to make him laugh and come out of his shell. John truly loved PCHAS and the work that we did. He will truly be missed. I pray that the family feel God’s love and peace.
I will always remember John walking through the office and whistling songs. He was a very intelligent man, and truly cared about the children and families we serve. He could be funny, and willing to share stories about himself in jest. This work that we do is not easy. It comes with many challenges and complex issues to solve to move forward with the mission to better the lives of those most in need. John showed up and did that challenging work, until the unfortunate day he was no longer able to do so. His impact and contribution will always be remembered. Rest In Peace John!!
