I remember and cherish the Christmas dinners. Love and miss you.

Love and prayers sent to all the family and friends of one of John good friend here in southeast missouri. I'm so fortunate to have got to steal a few hours away from u all by keeping him company over the dinners we shared when he would have to be away from yall do to his travel from his work. Believe me we had some good talks and he loved his family so much. I'm glad to have gotten and implied some of the advice he gave me and I hope to be more like John myself in my upcoming journey myself thru life as I know I'd be a better man. By doing so. We loved big John here in the show me state and will miss him greatly but our hearts and prayers are with u all as I know this is painful and will take some time to heal. RIP big buddy we will see u again soon. Tim Gadberry

So sorry to hear about his senseless murder! Justice will prevail! Sending sympathy & prayers to his family! 💔🙏May he RIP! ❤
