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!

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!!

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.

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
