John J. Dugan was a guardian to his family. From the day he was born until the day he finally found his rest, his unwavering love became the foundation for many fortunate individuals. He protected and watched over every loved one with all of his strength. The presence of his confidence and power was always felt within a room. His knowledge was unmatched, his drive was unstoppable, and he put a fire in all of us that will never fade.
He persevered in his love for his family. He was a leader, and did not only go the distance, but showed the way to everyone under his wing. You would never have to wonder what he was thinking. There was not one guise to his character; he lived his life outward, giving as much encouragement, knowledge, love, and laughter as he could in this brief moment in time we're given. We should all find ourselves challenged, to live a life as full as his, and to love everyone around us with no relent.
