I was 15 when I met John's daughter Lynnelle we were in highschool. I remember the first time I met John, Lynnelle invited me to go to her house after school. When we got there she introduced me, I remember that his Harley Davidson motorcycle was in the middle of the living room. I thought it was cool, and with the first look at John you see all the tattoos and the motorcycle some would bet that he was not very friendly. But the some would be so wrong! He wasn't like that at all, he was a great man! He loved to play his guitar and enjoyed telling stories about the things he had done. I looked at John as a dad that I didn't have! Sleep well with the Angels 🕊️

Thank you for all the memories and blessings you have given me. I remember when I was about 13 and you gave me my first driving lesson. After you showed me what to do you let me try it solo. As the truck raced foreward I can still here you laughing and saying three on the tree at the same time.  Guess we should have stuck with that old truck cause you didnt laugh when sandy rode the donkey thru the barbed wire fence oops. You were always so strong and handsome. You taught me many things in life , staying tough and strong were only a few. You gave me sisters to love and learn from as well and a niece who was just as outspiken and fiesty as you. And little baby vaeda who made you light up when you held her.god bless you my friend and again we will meet at heavens gates. I love you johnny malarkey sr . RIP until we meet again
