We are so blessed to have known John and his BIG heart for his family and friends. He had a maturity and wisdom beyond his years when we first met him ~9 years ago. We tremendously value the positive role model and grandparent he was to his grandchildren - a legacy to them. We pray for strength and peace for his loved ones during this particularly difficult season in their lives.

I was John's very first partner in EMS. We worked together for a couple if years in San Augustine county. He was great to work with, loved his job. Very clumsy as well!! He passion was for the love of people and family. We had some good times back then. John you will be missed by many. ❤️
