A mutual friend of ours just told me of your passing. My deepest sympathy to your family.. John and I met when we were working at Palms of Pasadena Hospital. He was my manager, but we were more friends, than work colleagues. We hung out after work at the beach. combing through the different spots. Dancing, playing pool, laughing. John was a great friend, a great boss and a great human. He will be missed. 💔

My deepest condolences to John’s family. I looked forward to my vacations in Florida to hang out with all of my great friends and John was one of them. Spent a great deal of time talking football and enjoying a cold beverage. (or two) I always held out hope I would run into him once again so we could reminisce about those great time we had and stories we were a part of. Rest in peace amigo…

Go Gators,

Brian Howard

My deepest sympathy to Johns entire family. I met John while working at Home Depot and became friends. Had many a good conversation. Great guy and will be deeply missed. God bless you John.

I Met john when he first started at Home Depot back in 2019 He was my head cashier at the time always brining  jolly ranchers to work and candy in general always sneaking them into my apron at work. You have made a huge impact in people’s lives John. You truly will be missed my friend.

On Saturday when I heard about your passing, I couldn't believe it. I was in shock and I'm still in shock. You were too young to go. You were an amazing manager and I respected you, we initially had our disagreements, but the longer I've worked with you, I've appreciated you. I remember on my last day at Home Depot right before I left, you gave me a hug. Thank you for making me laugh on the days I needed it and thank you for being there. You will be missed.

Remember Wednesday Wednesday when you came in a little before 2:00. You asked me do I like my new shift and I said I love it. And you said I don't like it I never get to see you. Still remember I will forever miss you john. You were amazing

John was a wonderful neighbor and in the short time we knew him, he was becoming a good friend as well.   Our deepest sympathy his son, daughter and extended family.  Gone to soon. RIP John.
Mark & Carl
