John was the kind of friend everyone hopes to find in their lifetime but few ever do. His company was something special and something I will always treasure. He had a heart bigger than most and a spirit that was as dependable as the sunrise. If you needed help no matter how big or small the task John was always the first to offer a hand without hesitation.  It’s hard to put into words just how much he meant to me and to all those whose lives he touched. John wasn’t just a friend he was the kind of person who made the world a better place simply by being in it. His kindness, his willingness to help anyone in need and his unwavering loyalty were qualities that are all too rare these days. John’s absence will leave a void that can never truly be filled. The world feels a little emptier without him in it but I will carry his memory with me always. Rest in peace my friend. You left us far too soon but your impact on our lives will be felt forever.
