John was more than a friend. We have worked together for 19 years. John loved his family and always mentioned Michal and Molly. 

         IN MEMORIUM ~ IN HONOR.
 A SALUTE TO A FALLEN COMRADE.
John and I worked together for many years, and I always found him to be fair, honest, loyal and extremely hard working. Not only that, but John W. Washington was a man of great character and excellent standards. His work ethic was unparalleled. 
    Whether working on the job, working  on his farm or taking time to enjoy life, he believed in focusing on the task at hand and doing it to the best of his ability.
    If  you were fortunate enough to be in his inner circle, you knew that he had a lighter side and he loved to cut up. He was always witty, loved a good joke and could swap insults with the best of them. 
   The world lost a very good man when John burst into eternity, but he lives on in his family, in the level of integrity that he set, as well as the high level of dignity that he strived to maintain. 
   But most of all, John lives on in the hearts and minds of those who loved him, respected him, admired him and worked with him. 
   John Washington was a class act, a great cop, boss and friend. 
   I will be forever honored to call him my friend.
                 JOHN W. WASHINGTON
      END OF WATCH: APRIL 9TH, 2018

I remember John and Gerald Wood being best of friends at St. Clair County High School. Gerald’s death our senior year hit John quite hard. Now we’ve lost them both, but they are reunited. Condolences to John’s family. We are with you in prayer.
