It´s been 20 years my dear brother. It seems like yesterday. You are here with me always, and a part of my heart is with you eternally. We will reunite again one day and there will never be pain, sadness, judgement, or indifference. I know you are in heaven looking down on us...........until we meet again......

Johnny was my brother and it is so wonderful to see that even in 2018 someone still was thoughtful enough to say some kind words about him. For anyone that truly knew and loved John knew what an incredibly big heart he had and how loving he truly was. I will forever miss his phone calls just to say “I love you “ and his big strong arms and wonderful hugs. Rest in peace brother, and I know you are watching over all of us , I hear you in my music, I feel you in the sunshine on my face. I know someday you will greet me with a big “Jonny hug” and smile in heaven.

I will always remember Johnny as the kid who used to throw cans of pop at the ground with me and we would drink the pop that would spray out of the hole. My dad and Johns dad were partners. We called Johnnys dad the general. Once a year we would go to their house for a bbq And I always looked forward to it. I feel horrible because I spoke with Johnny a couple of times as young adults but I wish I wouldve kept in better touch with him and I wish I couldve done more. I know how hard it is to lose somebody that you love. I know years have passed And I can only hold it on is resting in peace... Maybe hes hanging out with my dad
