We were so sorry to hear of John's illness and passing. He was truly a great man of God. We loved him and enjoyed his great sense of humor and his Christ-like leading while serving as our Minister of
Education at FBCC.  We have such fond memories of hours spent w/John. What a great reunion we'll have in Heaven one day! Praying for God's Comforter to surround all of you and bring you peace.

May God be with his family, love ones and friends during their time of sorrow.

John, I know that you are are a man of great faith and that you are with your creator rejoicing in eternal glory. Great man of God your faith inspired me and audacity encouraged me. Well done good and faithful servant. Thank you for your wisdom. My prayers go out to Barry and the rest of the Stoker family. He was so proud of his Children and loved his family very much.

God has called home another one of his angels. I never got to thank Rev Stoker and Barry for the sharing of their knowledge in Bible Study class. May God continue to comfort and bless all who had the pleasure of knowing you.

Jeremy I am so sorry to hear of your  Dad. Our thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family. Take Care..

I knew John from the days at First Baptist San Antonio.  John was in the choir.  We were in the final rehearsals for our annual dinner theatre production and one of our spotlight workers wasn't able to continue.  In a panic, I asked John to help.  It was the final rehearsal and he hadn't seen the show.  He willingly said "Yes". Did a great job at the last minute.  
Thanks, John, for your help.  Remembering you.

We were very sorry to hear of John's passing.  Your family is in our thoughts and prayers.  Lorene Merrill, Jonathan Rorrer, Michael Rorrer and Lisa Hernandez

Four Candles for You 

The first candle represents our grief.
The pain of losing you is intense.
It reminds us of the depth of our love for you. 
This second candle represents our courage.
To confront our sorrow,
To comfort each other,
To change our lives.

This third candle we light in your memory.
For the times we laughed,
The times we cried,
The times we were angry with each other,
The silly things you did,
The caring and joy you gave us.

This fourth candle we light for our love.
We light this candle that your light will always shine.
As we enter this holiday season and share this night of remembrance
with our family and friends.

We cherish the special place in our hearts
that will always be reserved for you.
We thank you for the gift 
your living brought to each of us.

We love you.
We remember you.




It was a pleasure and honor to know this man . I have and always will be honored that he married me and my husband . May his pain and suffering finally be at peace.
