We knew each other so far back I can’t remember an age. 4 or 5! Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, extra peanut butter because I like it that way! Your mom marrying the dogs. Little league, school, football, bmx bikes, jumps and ramps, and my favorite…. Taking dads cigar buds and rolling them with electrical tape for a ball to play stick ball in the front yard. Jumping off your parents roof. Jumping off the IB pier. 91X rock and bowls. On the fly ski trips. We did it all together. I miss you my friend, my brother. See you upstairs bro! ❤️

John, I knew you as an enthusiastic and capable man who enjoyed the mountains. Our adventures are great memories and our conversations enriched my world. I am sad we won’t share a campfire again. Thanks for being my friend.

Oh John! You should still be here. I miss your voice. I miss hearing your updates, your good and your bad. I’m so thankful we were able to connect and be family. It wasn’t long enough. We were looking forward to seeing you, but now we just hold you in our hearts. Make sure you keep an eye on Teri and Bob. She’s trying hard to figure out how to keep going without you. Thank you for loving me. I’ll never forget you. 🌺

From Aunt Cookie: My sweetheart Johnny 💕 I still can't believe you are gone. I remember I was the first of your aunts or uncle's to see you as a newborn baby and I got to take care of you. You were a sweet beautiful baby and you grew up to be a beautiful man, inside and out, ornery but so much fun. I will always remember you, I have you in my heart ❤ forever and will miss our phone calls and times we got together . Aunt cookie 🍪

Gonna miss you so much John John. It's so hard to believe that just a week before we were making plans for you to come out to Montana. We had some fun and crazy times growing up. I had my first road trip in the bus with you and you family, first lake fishing trip, first time jumping off the I.B. pier. Growing up with you was a fun, crazy and adventurous experience. I love you brother and am going to miss you

Uncle John,
You weren’t just your average uncle. You were beyond that + more.
I have countless memories with you. Most of them coming from the summers I was shipped off to spend with you guys. You know, the summers where my parents thought, they were punishing me for being a wild child!? The truth is, I loved coming out to Colorado to stay with you guys!! ( they just couldn’t know that, otherwise it wouldn’t be a punishment 🤪 ) You know, to this day I STILL don’t trust jack in the box tacos because of you!.
You embedded it in my mind that they are made out of Kangaroo meat. I now tell my kids, that jack in the box tacos are made from kangaroo meat. I’m not sure they believe it, as much as I did. But I still try to be as convincing as you were.
Now ….I STILL feel like there is some sort truth behind marshmallows being made out of lamb fat. I have tried to convince Brian about your theory since we’ve been together. (I think I might have him convinced too. )
I have absolutely no idea if there’s any truth to these things …. if not, I just need to know how in the world did you come up with all of this!? You always knew how to make everyone laugh. Even in the most sad and difficult times, you somehow knew what to say to make me laugh instantly. ( like the time you took me to see grandpa before his funeral and you told me, “Be careful Jess! Grandpa is naked under that sheet and we probably don’t want to see that.”
No matter the situation you always had a way to make it better.
I’ll cherish the fishing trips you took Brian and I on, forever. The memories we made during those trips are some of my favorite. Although I really sucked at catching yellowtail, it makes me laugh thinking about how you walked around the entire boat until you found someone that was willing to let me reel in their catch. I’m going to need you to send me some luck whenever I attempt it again!
Thank you for being the prime example of how to live your life to the fullest, making every second count. I too, will try and live life the way you did.

I can honestly sit here and tell stories for days…
For now, I want to thank you for being the best damn uncle there ever was….and lastly as always, I will love you forever ♾

Xoxo- Jess

John always enjoyed family and friends when they were around. Always cooked great meals he caught. I.e. deer, elk, etc. he loved his family, nieces and nephews with all his heart, even those he took under his wing. He was a fun brother in law and I will miss him so much. Until we meet again BIL. I LOVE YOU ALWAYS.
