As many have said, It is truly hard to believe that John is gone. He was one of a kind. We traveled up and down I 85 to and from Clemson more times than I can remember as Freshmen. He was a good friend to many. I never really met anyone who didn't have positive things to say about John. I will be just one of many that will miss John. Prayers and peace to all who mourn his passing.

John and I lived across the street, in Heathwood, from each other when we were in elementary school and Junior High. There were four of us that hung out together, Chuck Burton, Charlie Brannon, John and I. We had some of the best times as young friends do. Camping out in the backyards, playing all sports, and just hanging out. John was the head of our group, it is hard to believe a life has come to an end. We lost contact as I went off to military school but reconnected a years ago. He will be missed.

What a sad day 2/9/21 to learn of John's passing. Such a true friend to everyone he met. After being gone 45 years, I had last seen John at graduation as he said, 'Don't trip', right before I walked out to get my diploma...I remember laughing and everyone behind me. Memories around a lot of music then and upon returning. We ran into each other at a Toto concert that first summer; Fred was with him. 45 years later since our last time in the same space. We had fun reuniting for about 20 minutes before the show...he had walked up and leaned into my face, saying Peggy?
Made my night, so unexpected.
My prayers and condolences go out to his boys and his grandchildren. He loved them so, and doted about their accomplishments in conversations. He was so proud of his boys and grandchildren. I am glad he knew such love in his lifetime, it meant everything to him.
You will be missed by everyone, I feel blessed to have you call me friend. Rest in peace, my sweet friend, I know you are enjoying playing with those gone before, and heaven is a better place with you in it~This world will not be the same without you ~
See you again...in the blink of an eye~

As was the case with Clyde and Janet, I grew up with John in Heathwood. He was a talented guy and a great friend to so many people. Covid has shaken all of our worlds and robbed us of time spent with friends and family. I like to think that John is jamming in heaven and that he will entertain us when it is our time to join him.

So sad to hear of John's death. Still have so many great memories of my friend. He's probably playing with the heavenly choir. Thoughts and prayers for his family in this time of grief. He will be missed.

My memories of high-school are so fuzzy, I could almost wonder if I was only half there! In Spanish class we all used the Spanish version of our names. My Spanish name was Sara (pronounced Sah-rah). John used to tease and call me "Sorry" 🤣 He and I hated riding the school bus home in the afternoon, so we'd hang out in the parking lot trying to hitch rides home. Senior year, I had a carpool, so he frequently squeeze in. I'm sad for his sons, losing their dad too young.David Gordon
All have expressed just how nice a guy John was and all is true. I remember John as a ball of energy that always had a smile. George you have it right! John is jamming waiting on us!

Like Nancy, I didn't know John in high school except to say hello. When the website was established,I noticed how complimentary and congenial he was to everyone, including me. I forget how fragile life is, and how important it is to for one to know they are secure in Jesus. My condolences and prayers to his family and loved ones. Enjoy that heavenly choir and band, John.
