To those who walked with us in prayer and encouragement...

Our hearts are so deeply broken, and our lives will never be the same. John was a happy, tender, kind, courageous and honorable husband, father, son, brother, grandson, uncle, friend…and so much more! He has always provided comfort to our family as well as plenty of fun and laughs. John truly loved being an officer, and he would do it all over again - with no regrets. We will miss him dearly until we see him again in Heaven. We know this world is not our home, but this pain still hurts incredibly deep to the core. Our family is broken, but we will rejoice in sweet precious memories and the assurance that John is beside the Lord who loves him more than we ever could. John loved and was dearly loved – that is his legacy we will carry. Throughout the past week of battles, victories, joys, trials and prayers, the loving kindness and support has been amazingly beautiful and has forever humbled our family. If acts of kindness and love could have saved him, he would undoubtedly still be here with us. We do not understand, but we will learn to accept. John was a good man who lived a good life, so we consider our family blessed. He will continue to forever warm our heart and souls.

Quick Update...

They are taking John back to surgery to do some clean up in his chest. He was able to go for another scan and make the trip to the OR for the procedure. Will post more about the day and how surgery goes in a bit. Please pray the surgery is uneventful and he tolerates it well.

  2. Heavenly Father, please bless the hands that will help to heal JD. Keep him safe during this next surgery. Also, dear Lord, I pray for patience and comfort for his loved ones as they have to endure the seconds, minutes, or maybe even hours as the surgery continues to take place. In Your name I pray, Amen.

  12. Bridget,
    Thanks for all you have been doing with the updates. Let the family know we are all there in our thoughts and prayers. Stay strong and know he is in good hands. Let us know if you need anything.

    Thanks to all of the personnel who were on scene of the accident. Your efforts are the reason he is still with us (along with him being stubborn). Thanks to all the Medical staff for their continuing efforts.
