Today is July 26th I Just found out that my good friend died today.i hadnt talked to him in a few months, tried to make contact, disconnected numbers, nobody home, nobody knew ,those pesky things. John was one of my best friends i will ever have. Despite both of our troubles, past and present. The last 12 years we have been friends "road Dogs" as we joked about. He watched me and my children grow up and we have all shed tears today. I never met Corey, Knew he was close to my daughters age(19) met his daughter when she was just little my son is 1 year older than her. My condolences to his family and friends ive never met. In my opion Janet was Johns biggest love and his best friend. In my heart John was like the brother i never had. it is hard to put in it in words our relationship...To describe him just words i guess optimistic, smart, inpulsive, caring almost sometimes to a fault. A fixer of problems, some even his own. I will miss his smile, his kind eyes, our quiet times together, there is more, im just sad and cannot remember now. I will always miss him, I will always love him, im sorry i didnt know about the funeral or him leaving us. I know now and my heart is broken. I pray he will watch over my family as he always has. Jen

My heart felt sympathy goes out to the family of John. I just happen to run into him about a year ago. I was saddened to hear of his death. I knew John from back in the 80's when I worked for the Vickers gas station on N.E.14th st. Gosh, he had to of been 14yrs old then. He will be missed. He was a good guy.

John was too young to have passed already and I know all of you will miss him dearly. He made bad choices at times but he was kind at heart and loved his family very much. There were many times he told me how he wished he was more like his brother or how wonderful he thought his father was and how he hoped he could be as good to his kids as he felt his father was to him. There was defiantly nobody else like John and I really hope he finally realized his own worth before he passed. Because of my history with John, some of his family may be surprised to hear from me, but even so John will always hold a place in my heart. Cory reminds me of John at times and is growing into a great man with a bright future, defiantly a son to be proud of. I hope John has found some of the peace that eluded him in life.
Please accept my heartfelt sympathy on the passing of your friend, husband, brother,son & father. May the love of those around you help you through the days ahead.

My memories of Johnny go back to his days in Prairie City. Such a sweetheart of a guy and a GREAT friend. He was always thinking of others and worried if you were ok. He could always cheer me up and put a smile on my face if I was ever having a bad day. We recently reconnected briefly on Facebook but never got a chance to really chat and catch up on what's been happening the past 20 years. He did leave me a really sweet comment that I will always cherish. Still the same sweet guy that I had always remembered. It doesn't matter to me that John made bad choices, our Lord and Saviour forgives. It breaks my heart that his life was so troubled but I will always hang on to those precious memories that I have of him. Johnny had a good heart and I know that he will be welcomed into Heaven.
My deepest sympathies go out to Jack and the rest of the family. I hope by reading these messages that you find comfort in knowing that Johnny was loved by many and I, for one, will miss him very much!
God Bless!

My condolences for the family's loss. I never knew John, however, I worked with Bob Sinclair (perhaps a relative?) in Southern California, for Texaco Inc., and about 3 years ago when Bob was in Melrose, Iowa, visiting, I drove from Des Moines to visit with him---he was also in Iowa to visit an ailing nephew I believe. A short time after our visit Bob passed away in California. George Dickerson
