Personal note from Amy Lynn Raines (Wife)

Thank you so much for everyone's love and support during this difficult time. Losing John has been very difficult. His memory will live in the hearts of the family and friends that were lucky enough to have the love, light, warmth, and compassion that he carried himself with no matter where he was or the situation he was in.
His pride and dignity have marked those who love him, bonding them as a family that will forever be connected by his grace.
For me (Amy), I was lucky enough to share a marriage with John for 23 wonderful years. I am thankful for our time together, but it was cut way too short. 23 years could never be enough with John.
He was an amazing husband, father, son, brother, uncle, and so much more.
He is and always will be dearly and deeply loved and missed.
