John was an exceptionally kind, humble, and faithful Catholic mentor and friend. He set the standard high for how a thoughtful and devoted Catholic man should conduct himself. I will greatly miss his genuine warmth and insightful takes on the Catholic faith. We know that his kind soul endures, and that he will soon see the face of God. God Bless John, and I pray that God grants peace and hope for his family and many friends mourning his loss. Sincerely, Scott Buckles
