I just seen a facebook memory, why now Idk, from the day I found out you had passed away. It made my stomach hurt. You were the epitome of kindness and the pinnacle of what serving others is all about. You are missed as much now as ever, John. I love you, I miss you, I am sorry I didn't keep in touch more, and I will never forget you!
John was great competitor on and off the court. He will truly be missed by family and friends. Rest easy my friend.
I surely considered John a friend
He worked on my vehicle and my mother’s several times over the years
I’m so sorry. I hope the best for Lisa and family
Thanks John for being one of the very best all around guys ever!!
Your friend over the years, Bobby Taylor
My heart hurts that my cousin John is gone. I'm so sorry that I can't attend the services but know that my prayers are with my family! John was a kind man! He was very quiet when we were growing up but you always knew he was in the midst! Rest easy my cousin, until we meet at the great getting up morning. I love you!!
May God bless Lisa and children and comfort you thought this trying time.To all my cousins may God wrap his comforting arms around you all as John has left us all with precious memories.Have that walk with Jesus and we will never walk alone.
My sincere condolences as i wont be able to attend the home going celebration.May God bless you all.
Much love Raymond Henderson Jr.
My daughter Katie use to play ball up at First Baptist. John was always so good to her and encouraged her. He always made sure that there was room for her in the pickup games, some of the other guys sometimes didn't really want to include a teenage girl but John would always ask her if she wanted to play and he made sure she got her shots. He made a big impression on her and I have always appreciated the time he took to encourage her. John was a good man.
Prayers for Lisa and Chris and the family.
Jeff, my husband and I want you to know how sorry we are for your loss. Freda and I have been close friends for almost 50 years I have very fond memories of spending quality time with the Riley family during my college days. May God bless and keep you in His care during this difficult time and flood you with happy memories of your time with John!
With love and prayer,
Angie
