While working with John at Perdue Farms, my primary memories of him was how happy he always was and how he always made those around him happy, including myself. I can still hear him today talking to me saying "Come onnnnn Teed" when he wanted to question my thoughts/beliefs and/or to inspire me to do more or as a challenge to me to be better.
I will always remember him fondly as a true friend and coworker. I just wish I had spent more time with him away from work & with his family as he seemed a real family man and a good father. My kind of guy, man, father and friend!
Ted

I am fortunate to have known John. He was a kind and beautiful soul. I admired his passion for family and God. He was a good friend and colleague to me and I will miss him a lot. My prayers are with his entire family through this tough time.

Tanisha, this is Susan from the High Grade list on Facebook. I am so deeply and truly sorry for your loss. As I mentioned on FB, I lost Mike five months ago to this evil cancer and if you need someone to talk to, please don't hesitate to contact me. You and your family are in my prayers.
