John was a very creative person inspired by nature, Eastern Philosophy and Christian values which guided him spiritually to mediate and get closer to his higher power God. His creative side was an outlet that allowed him to express himself through painting, drawing, sculpting and landscaping.

We will miss John dearly and all that he gave us as a family.
