We are so sorry for your loss. John was a good friend of my son, Jason Graham, in high school and a groomsman in his wedding in New Mexico in '94. John was a fine young man and will be greatly missed. Your family are in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.

I was in shock when i heard the news about John, I cant believe he's gone. He had such a wonderfull personality. He could always make me laugh. I could talk to John about anything, He was such a wonderfull person and it's been a pleasure working with him not only as a co worker but a friend, I dont think John realized how many peole looked up to him and how well respcted he was, its just not going to be the same with out him. His daughter was the apple of his eye and his pride and joy, My thoughts and prayers are with his family.

It's been a long time but I think of all of you often and think often of the times we shared. Marty called last week to tell me what had happened. I'm SO sorry to hear about John. My thoughts and prayers go out to all of you and Camryn.
It's been almost a year now since we lost my step-sister in a car accident and she left three children behind. One who was in the car and has a brain injury. It's been a difficult year but somehow we have made it and you all will too. You are a close and loving family. Just when you don't think you have the strength, God provides it.
Again, I'm very sorry to hear about John and my heartbreaks for the pain I know all too well that you are feeling!
May you feel God wrap His arms around you and feel His love in your time of need and sorrow.

I was truly heartbroken when I learned of John's death and will remain heartbroken for a very long time. John was such a great person and could make you laugh with just a look. I can't think of a time when I saw John and he didn't make me laugh. From his goofy looks to his quirky comments and his off the wall text messages, I could always count on a laugh no matter what kind of mood I was in. He's going to be missed by everyone so much. To John's parents, brother, Camryn and the rest of his family, I'm so sorry for your tremendous loss. I'll miss you, Skinny.

My relationship with John taught me a lot about myself, friendship, forgiveness and the things that really matter. Even when things were tough I could depend on John to be there for me. I would give just about anything to have one last talk with him, one last laugh, but what I would love more than anything would be one last hug. I could never forget you John and I will always love you. My prayers go out to Barb, David, Chris, Tregg, Becky and especially the one true love of Johns life, his daughter Camryn. I saw this little girl reach in him a way no one else ever could. John you were a blessing in all our lives.
Love Always,
Shanna

My wife and I have known John for nearly 10 years. He was such a wonderful person, coworker, and friend. With his sense of humor and witty remarks you couldn't help liking the guy. His time was cut short and he will be missed greatly. He talked about his family often especially his pride and joy, his daughter Camryn. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Words can not express how sorry I am for all of you. John was a wonderful person and always brought the best out in everyone. He had a true knack for making me laugh. He spoke of Camryn often and one could hear the love in his heart for her. He will be greatly missed and never forgotten.
