Remembering John as a wonderful Christian brother in Christ Jesus and thanking the Lord for his faithful godly witness to all our church family. A ready smile, a gentle humble spirit, a generous heart will be the things I remember him for.
Rejoicing that his family and friends do not grieve without hope, as John is now present with the Lord awaiting that day when the Lord will come again in Glory and we who long for His appearing, will be forever with Him. Much love and prayers to all the family ❤️🙏

John was a very Godly, wise man who will be missed by all who knew him. But through much human sadness, may we know that John has ran the race. He has kept the faith. He has earned his crown of righteousness and is now safe at home with his eternal Heavenly Father who he loved so dearly. In John’s own words.. God is good! Sending lots of love and prayers at this very difficult time. ❤️
