I did not know John personally, however, his sister Anita is my sister and law and i know what a wonderful person she is so i am sure John is just wonderful. Its so sad when someone dies so young and unexpectedly. Our prayers and thoughts are with the entire family. Please keep us posted on the funeral situation. Thanks and God Bless.

May our Lord return soon to take us all away to his Kingdom where the struggles of this mortality will come to an end. You are all in our thoughts and prayers during this time. We believe your Dad would want you to lean on Yahweh at this time. “Therefore, prepare your minds for action; be self-controlled; set your HOPE fully on the grace to be given you when Jesus Christ is revealed. 1 Peter 1:13″ Our Lord will set all things right when he returns. May it be TODAY, we love you all so much and thanks to everyone that has helped find John. We love you all.

Our hearts to deeply hurt by the loss of our family member, John. Amber, Ashley and Travis, I am so sorry for the loss of your Dad. I love all of you so much. The entire family is there for you to lean on during this terrible time and the trials that you will endure in the future. We will never let your Dad’s memory be forgotten. He loved all of you so much and yall were his entire life.

I would like to extend a heartfelt thanks to the Texas Equusearch Organization. I have never in my life encountered a more caring, loving, supportive and determined group of people. The suppport that you provided to our family during this terrible time will never be forgotten. You would think that yall would be numb to what you do everyday; however, that is not the case. You cried right along with us. You could tell that you really wanted to bring our family member home. When I left search headquarters Friday night, I hugged several of you bye. I felt like I was saying goodbye to family members. That says so much about yall. I will always remember each and everyone of you and thank God for bringing yall to us to bring Uncle John home. May God bless each and everyone of you and your families.

I would also like to thank all of the volunteers that came to search during this time. We could not have done it without yall. Several of you were there for the entire search and we know that you took time away from your jobs, etc…to assist the family in this need. I also want to thank the couple that let us intrude on their lives for a few days. We also could not have done this without yall. You will always be remembered fondly for that act of selfishness and kindness.

May God be with each and everyone of us in this time of loss and bring comfort and healing.

To the family and chidren of John, I am so sorry. I would do anything to ease your pain. I can’t even imagine how you hurt right now. I am so sorry. You are an amazing family, I am glad I got to meet more of yall, even under these circumstances. God bless you all. Ginger and family.

As a friend of the family of John I want to commend the Equusearch team on the work they do. You are a blessing and a God send doing a job that must involve endless hurt. Yesterday was the hardest day of many peoples lives here and I know you are special people to put yourselves in that place repeatedly to bring others peace. God bless you for all you give for so many.
