John was a beautiful soul. He wasn’t afraid to make you uncomfortableifitwouldhelp youseetruth,learnsomething about yourself, or about life. Life isn’t always easy and it doesn’t always make sense in the moment, but it is also full of good. Although his life had hardships, it was also full of joy. He will be missed by so many. He touched so many lives. John was someone who loved people and, even at his worst, he never stopped trying to help others. If he had a parting message, I think it would be this: love like Jesus loved regardless of age, race, looks, or smell (yes, he would have said smell or something more humorous); and give compassion to the people who surround you, because you never know the pain they are still holding.
