I went to Andrew Jackson Language Academy and Whitney Young High School with Jean-Pierre.  We both used to live on Cullerton St. in Chicago, and I had a big crush on him when we were in 7th and 8th grade.  I remembered him through out the years and had been looking him up on facebook to see what had become of him, but had no luck locating him until today when I decided to google his name.  I was shocked to learn of his death less than two months ago.  I truly never expected to find such sad news.  RIP Jean-Pierre.....you will be greatly missed.

Gerry & Ramiro:

I went to Andrew Jackson with Jean-Pierre and we were best friends. I remember him winning the science fair with that solar powered oven! We were playmates outside of school and visited each other a few times. For my French class, because there was no "Ryan" translation; I chose "Jean-Pierre." We had a memorable Halloween with Charisse and Lisa Reynosa. Very good times. It was great that we went to Whitney Young together as well! I remember the last time I saw you guys was at his muscle physique contest when we were sophomores--and I believe he won! This is such sad news. Unfortunately, I just read about this (9/22/13). God bless you both. My wife (Gloria) and I are praying for your family.

Jyps,
I've thought about you everyday since my phone rang that Sunday night. I will always love you and miss you.

Bety and to Jean's family, our deepest sympathy goes out to you. We had the privilege of meeting Jean a few years ago, we instantly knew what a great person he was by his humor and openness. Although we had just met, he made it feel like we were old friends.

You are in our prayers and thoughts.

"To Beti and Jean-Pierre's parents, Our hearts and prayers go out to you and everyone that John touched throughout his life... May you be filled with positive light during this very difficult time in your lives."

He will always be your baby. There was so much love that you shared with him and he shared with others throughout his life. Our condolences as you struggle through this terrible loss.

Met Jean when he was just a teenager, and grew to love him as very fun-loving and respectful young man.  Saw him a few weeks prior to his untimely departure and we had our usual laughing and joking exchange.  Rest in Peace my Brother.   Luv Ya

To Elizabeth and the Family of Jean-Pierre, 

My deepest sympathies.  You are all im my prayers.

Jean was a great Police Officer that I had the pleasure to work with in the 012th District back in the 1990's. Jean was the real Police always looking to get the bad guys off the street. What a terrible loss to the Chicago Police Department and his friends and family. RIP my Brother I will never forget you.

Lt. Bob Flynn (CPD RET)

John, 

The best times I had in a squad ca,  were with you. We would hit the village and then 18th street. Back and forth. We would get a "head" and then back out on the streets. No matter how crazy it ended up, you always had my "six".  Duty, Honor, Loyalty and Courage were not just words but a way of life for you. There is no doubt in my mind, that Heaven has welcomed another warrior and you will continue your fight against evil. I will miss you and you will always be in my heart. Hold it down for us, until its time to meet again. I know you will be watching over us.

“When a warrior fights not for himself, but for his brothers, when his most passionately sought goal is neither glory nor his own life's preservation, but to spend his substance for them, his comrades, not to abandon them, not to prove unworthy of them, then his heart truly has achieved contempt for death, and with that he transcends himself and his actions touch the sublime. That is why the true warrior cannot speak of battle save to his brothers who have been there with him. The truth is too holy, too sacred, for words." -(Gates of Fire)” 

Godspeed Brother,

AK

John was one of the best police officers I have ever known and a wonderful person to know.

I worked with Jean in the 012 District.  He was a wonderful person, great son, an exemplary Police Officer and later Sergeant.  I met his parents and they are also wonderful people. My prayers are with them and his fiancee, what a terrible loss. 

Tim B.

From the first time we met, in grammar school to high school you will always be in my heart.

I was very saddened to hear this news. I am consoled by knowing that he went on to do great things. He was sweet, caring and he had an unforgettable laugh. Please know you are all in my thoughts and prayers.

JP was always there and will continue to watch over us.  He was a great man, son, boyfriend, and friend.  JP you remain in our hearts forever.

My deepest sympathies! Lost but not forgotten. Forever a Dolphin!

Jean was a great friend, always supportive, loyal and caring.  I have great memories of him from younger days past.
