My wonderful uncle John not only were you my uncle you were a father figure to me, I can't thank you enough for all the things you've done for me over the years you truly went above and beyond for me, I'll miss your humour and the way you were always making sure others were okay, your selflessness. Thank you for all the memories uncle John I'm truly heartbroken my heart is shattered, you knew how to make everyone smile and knew how to uplift the mood. You were a dad figure to me loosing you has left a whole in my heart that no one can ever fix or replace your truly one in a million and a big miss to our family. You loved us all and we loved you dearly. You were always there when I needed you the most and you were there for everyone you cared about, you were truly someone so special and great. Your love and memories will always live on, thank you for the memories, for being such an extraordinary uncle and a very special great uncle to Kai, it truly breaks my heart you can't see him grow more and meet your great niece as I know you already loved her and she would of loved you, i wish you would have gotten the chance to meet her and kai loved you so much, Kai will miss seeing you and having a joke around with you as you knew how to make him smile and laugh, that's the thing you knew how to make everyone smile. You made me who I am today and for that I am forever grateful you'll be in all my tommorows.
I couldn't of asked for a better uncle and losing the man I saw as my second dad, my father figure has shattered me more than anything. I will always remember all the times we've shared and when I needed you, you were there you always told me you were a phonecall away and you'd be over as soon as possible, I love you uncle John and ill forever miss you forever and always

You'd live forever if our love could of stopped you from leaving us it happened all of a sudden we didn't even get a chance to say goodbye, it's your time to be reunited with everyone you ever loved our nana and granda and your dearly loved girlfriend Michelle they will welcome you with open arms and take care of you now as you have with all of us it's your time to shine in heaven, they've gained the best angel of them all, your forever in our hearts rest easy my sweet uncle I will always love you forever and always
