Last year, my husband and I did some R & R in Key West where we had the pleasure of meeting some of the KWPD officers. We are saddened to learn of this loss to your agency and to the law enforcement community at large. To all who mourn his loss, know that many people from many different places are thinking of you. And in ways we may never understand, we are all connected and share in your loss.

John;

I did not work with you long but most of my time at KWPD was spent on your shift. I will never forget the day God called you home. I will never forget sending all of those units to help you; and keep Him from taking you so soon. I am honored and feel extremely privileged to be asked to announce your last call. May you rest in peace.

I was so shocked to hear what happened...
This makes me so sad and almost at loss for words to say...
All the heart trouble and hospital stays I have had, I never expected to have say goodbye to you my friend.
I thought it would be the other way around.
I will miss you....

John,

I was shocked and deeply saddened to learn of your passing. We didn't work together for very long but in the time I knew you I grew very fond of you. You always had a big smile on your face and seemed to enjoy everything you did, especially when it came to work. I remember how you never hesitated to jump on the radio and take a call if you were in the area; you were always my “go to guy.” How you could get from one end of town to the other so fast on your bike was astonishing to me! So many officers could learn how to be a real professional from your example.

To most it would seem that you left us far too early, but obviously God has bigger plans for you. Just know that while you were here, you made a real difference in many lives and you will always be loved. You, and your son, are forever in my thoughts and prayers…
