I didn't know John well. We were merely aquaintences at New Fairfield High School, me just a couple of years his senior.
Nonetheless, the news of his unfair, untimely death rang deep to me. I remember the last time we spoke: a happenstance encounter some time after my graduation in the center of town, where we stood casually fueling our vehicles over what seemed at the time to be passing conversation. That simple memory will linger with me for a some time as I try desperately to understand why such promising life is taken from this world in such a meaningless chance encounter of misfortune and inequity.
My sincerely heartfelt condolences extend to his loving family and friends who's emotional outreach has truly inspired me to appreciate every day that I'm given with those I hold dear.
John, I wish I could share with you now the impact you've had on me. I'm ashamed that it took your unjust death for me to truly appreciate your life, but please rest peacefully and assured knowing that my life is just one more that you've touched - no matter from how far away.
Please rest easy buddy.
You certainly deserve it.

My son and I stopped at Halas Farm the day the baby chicks arrived this year. We did not know your son John at all, but he took time out of his day to show us where they were and tell us about them. He said he often stopped what he was doing to watch them and hold one or two. He was so kind to us, and left an impression on my 11-year-old son. We just wanted you to know this story about him.
I am so sorry for your loss. We are praying for John and your whole family.

When I entered Bruno's a couple of weeks ago I observed a hand waving frantically from one of the tables. It was John. He stood up with a big smile and asked me how I was doing. He didn't have to do that, but he was genuinely interested. John was so down to earth, easy to talk to and had a knack for making people feel appreciated. He valued them. To the Pendergast Family - We mourn with you. We are so privileged to have known your son. - Bob, Darlene, Joe and James

My sincere condolences to the Pendergast Family. I had the pleasure of working with John for the last couple of years. I had the pleasure of hearing his cheerful voice and seeing his unforgettable smile on a daily basis. He never failed to make me laugh, nor was he ever NOT happy!! He always spoke so highly of his family and his outings with his Dad and how much he wanted to be there for his Mom. I have so many fond memories and I will cherish each and every moment I shared with John, Until we meet again John.

He was an angel here on earth; he always had a big smile for everybody. Very few people have touched my heart the way John has. How could so much kindness be wrapped up in one person? I pray for for his family and friends that they find comfort in each other. Please keep his memory alive in your hearts, by smiling the way he did.
