It has been a while since the last time i heard your voice. Dougie was what i called you. A nick name that i will forever remember you by. A name that suited you well. Always making me laugh when i needed you most. And now that i need you, you are not here to make me laugh. I cried when i heard the news. I cried when i took the same path you were on that horrible night. I have always wondered why does god put such a wonderful person on earth and then take them away so quickly? I will forever your laugh and your smile. I love you forever.

Its been a little over 4 months since John's accident and I'm sure it hasn't gotten any easier. He is an amazing boy and I say is because even though he's gone the thought of his face alone makes me feel amazing. I know hes looking over his family and hes in a better place and thats the only thing that keeps alot of us going. If anyone ever needs anything, I'm here. I will never forget him.

Dear Maripat and family,
All my deepest thoughts and prayers are with you through this time of your loss. I have been blessed with the greatest friendship of Maripat but was never blessed to have meet your son, Johnny, but through you and how much I know your children mean to you I feel I knew him and my words could never say enough on how sorry I am for you and all that where a part of him. If there is anything I could ever do for you or yours please know that I am always just a Phone call away no matter what!! I love you dearly!!

Well I played baseball most of my life with John, those are times I am really, really going to miss. He was always a great person, always nice, and I feel honored to be called his friend. I've known him for what seems like forever and I am going to miss him forever.

Dear Conroy Family
I am so sorry that you have had to face such a lose, John was truley an amazing person. It is so crazy how life can be so short and how you can take it for advantage. This has definetly been a life experience and that of one I will carry with me for the rest of my life. John was an angel sent to us, we did enjoy all that he had to offer and will miss him deeply. I walk down the halls and see so many t-shirts and necklaces. All I think is wow John impacted a lot of people. John was the most caring person I have met, whether he did or didn't like you he always treated you fairly. He made the bad times feel good and his glowing smile just made you smile. His presence will always be known, just always remember he is there no matter what. I have been blessed and feel honored that John was a good friend and allowed me to enjoy an awesome friendship. I know you do not know me much and I hope that can all change now. I promise I will be there for you and visit as much as possible. I love playing with the kids and seeing a little of John in all of them. Just playing with them makes you escape all the stress and puts a smile on your face just like John did. You are still blessed with four AMAZING kids and are being protected by one. Thank you for everything and letting me know everything will be okay and you can be there for us just as much as we are there for you. Please remember we are all just a phone call away, no matter what.
Donna
To John-I am so sorry we ended on a somewhat bad note. But I know there is forgiveness from the both of us. I truly loved you, no matter what I said. I will miss you even though you are still here in spirit. Thanks for being there and blessing me with your friendship. I love you and all the memories we shared--I will miss you kid. You were taken from all of us, but never from our hearts. Forever Rest in Peace

To all of my family..... I am still speechless about what to say. This loss was extremely hard for me so i can just imagine what uncle john and aunt maripat and the rest of his sisters and brother have been going through. I like to remember the fun that we used to have up in Michigan on the beach or in uncle Mikes basemant playing with that Ketcar at top speeds.
I will miss you little (actually bigger then me) boogeroonie

Dear Family of John, I was very deeply hurt when I recently heard the news. I feel for you and your family. I knew John ever since I came to Central Park when I was in fourth grade. I shared many laughs with him and I have many memories. I sad to say that we fell off when we hit high school but I stil said hi to him in the halls. My prayers will always be with you. John was something special and will be missed by all that knew him.

I met John at my nephew Kenny's house a few summers ago and remember him being a fun kid. And like some one else said, he had a lot of fun when we cooked hotdogs and s'mores in the fire pit one night. My thoughts and prayers have been with your family at this time. I know John will be remembered and missed by many.

Conroy Family,
There is nothing I can say that has not been said already. Johnny was not only my nephew but he was also my best friend, my shadow. I am so fortunate to have grown up down the street for Johnny my whole life. We did everything together and everything that I did was to make him proud of me and to provide him with a positive role model. I will miss him forever.
This was an exciting time for Johhny and I. We were looking into colleges already and were planning on visiting some this summer. Johnny was one of the funniest, smartest, kind hearted, and lovable kids a person will ever met. I only wish that when I have children that they grow up to be the outstanding person that Johnny was.
To Johnny's friends:
I now how difficult it is to lose a great firend because I have unfortuantly gone through this process in high school. Let me share with you what I have shared with Johhny over the years and the motto that I live by, "Keep your head up, your shoulders back, and walk with a purpose." Anyone who knows Johnny knows that he would want us to continue our lives and be the best person that we can.
I have dedicated my life to Johnny before his death and still plan to do the same thing now. Rest In Peace Johnny and I will always love you.
Uncle Dan

Im so sorry for your loss of John. He was a great friend. He always looked out for everyone. He always made everyone smile expecially if they were down in the dumps. There will be no one that could replace the role of what John did. Again Im so sorry for your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with your family. If you ever need anything dont be afraid to ask.

John/Maripat- I am so sorry for the loss of Johnny. When i think of Johnny i think of back in the days when we would run around outside in Midlothian and Johnny always had a big smile coming through that koolaid mustache of his. As we got older i could always count on him to have a fire going on outside your house in the summer, and he would always say "I got it under control" Jared always thought he was the coolest. When he makes mention of him he remembers Johnny throwing him onto the couch and giving him airplanes. He could always bring a smile to my face!! I was always so proud to say that he was my cousin. He was a great person, and he made us all better people to have been a part of his life. Please take care of yourselves and the rest of the kids,and know that we are here.
Johnny- we will remember and love you always. Your cousin Caty, Dan Jared,& Izaak.

Uncle John, Aunt MariPat, Erin, Kelly, Caitlin, and Danny- I know that words are never enough at a time like this. I know that God has a plan, even though it never makes sense to us. Medicine and time are never enough, God has already thought this through. My prayer to God is that Johnny felt no pain and that he is looking down on us thinking how lucky he is to know what heaven is before any of us- and that maybe he's able to help the rest of us understand. Johnny's there, right at your side.
I am so sorry that you have to feel this pain, but try to find solice in the thought that you have this wonderful son, who is loved by so many and who really made a difference. Johnny will be missed. We all miss him and we are all here for you to lean on. Anything you need, don't hesitate to ask. We love you and our thoughts are with you all at this time and always. Really, just call.
..I have wonderful memories of John, just always enjoying life and being silly. He really was ALWAYS smiling. I am greatful that I knew John for 16 years and am proud to say he's my cousin.

TO JOHN'S FAMILY;
I AM SO SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS; THE PAIN OF LOSING A SON IS JUST BEYOND ME. I HOPE NOTHING BUT THE BEST FOR YOU AND YOUR FAMILY IN THIS TIME OF SORROW. I JUST WANT TO FILL YOU IN ON THE TYPE OF MAN YOU RAISED THE KIND OF MAN I WAS SO BLESSED TO BE ABLE TO CALL MY FRIEND FOR 8 YEARS.
JOHN WAS AMAZING. HE WAS LOVING, CARING, KIND, FORGIVING, OPENMINDED, TRUSTWORTHY, FUN, OPTIMISTIC, AND THE LIST CAN GO ON FOR DAYS. BUT MOST OF ALL JOHN WAS THE CENTER OF ALL OF OUR FRIENDS. HE WAS THE ONE TO STAY STRONG WHEN THE REST OF US WERE LOSING IT. HE WAS THE ONE WE COULD GO TO ANYTIME OF THE DAY; AND HE WOULD LISTEN. HE ALWAYS LOOKED OUT FOR US. HE ALWAYS CAME TO US AND LET US KNOW IF HE HAD OVER HEARD SOMEONE SPEAKING NEGATIVELY OF US. HE JUST WAS THE TYPE OF PERSON WHO WOULD GO TO THE ENDS OF THE EARTH FOR YOU. HE WAS SUCH A BALL OF SUNSHINE, I REALLY DO NOT KNOW HOW ANY OF US ARE GOING TO MAKE IT WITHOUT HIM. SIEGFRIED I JUST DONT KNOW HOW HE WILL HOLD UP. JOHNNY USED TO ALWAYS JOKE AROUND AND SAY, "MAN ... WHAT WOULD YOU DO WITHOUT ME?" AND NOW WE ARE WITHOUT HIM; AND TRUTH IS ... WE DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO. WE LOST POSSIBLY THE GREATEST FRIEND WE WILL EVER HAVE. YOU RAISED A FINE YOUNG MAN. I WILL BE FOREVER GRATEFUL TO JOHNNY FOR ALLOWING ME TO BE HIS FRIEND. IT IS AN HONOR. THE WAKE WAS BEAUTIFUL; KYLE DID SUCH AN AMAZING THING FOR JOHNNY. IM SO GLAD HE WASNT HERE TO WATCH AND LISTEN BECAUSE TRUTH BE TOLD; HE WOULD HAVE LAUGHED SO HARD. THAT IS ALL WE EVER DID WHEN JOHN WAS AROUND; LAUGH. NOW IT SEEMS OUR DAYS JUST ARENT THE SAME; WHEN HE HANG OUT THERE IS AN EMPTY SPACE; WHEN WE ALL LAUGH TOGETHER, WE LAUGH A LITTLE BIT SOFTER NOW; AND WHEN WE CRY, WE CRY A LOT HARDER. YOUR AMAZING SON; HAS CHANGED AND IMPACTED ALL OF OUR LIVES THANK YOU VERY MUCH. FOR GIVING US THE PRIVELAGE OF BEING ABLE TO SPEND EVEN 1 SECOND WITH HIM.
RIP* MY JOHNNY C #33.
LOVE ALWAYS;
NESSA <3

Johnny, Maripat, Erin, Kelly, Caitlin, and Danny- I'm very sorry for your lost. Johnny was a great young man, and I will miss him a lot. I'm so happy and thankful that I was able to spend time with him on Thanksgiving and Christmas. Christmas will be very different next year without Johnny there to start the wrapping paper fights. I will always remember him and his great smile. It's amazing to see that he was smiling in so many pictures we found of him. I will especially remember the time my sister (Jennifer) and I babysat Johnny and Erin when they were much younger. I remember Johnny giving us a hard time. I'm glad we have pictures to capture that memory. I was privileged when Johnny was born on my 9th birthday, and that day will be even more special for me because it will be a day to honor Johnny’s life.
I will never forget Johnny and I'm glad he was part of my life for 16 years.
Love Johnny's cousin Allison.
