We just learned of the death of my cousin John from cousin Mike, we live in Las Vegas and had lost touch with him in the recent years but were just talking about him last week, I remember all the times we spent together as kids growing up, we were very close growing up as the whole family was, its a shame that families grow apart over the years. We want to extend our condolences and love, Cousin Patrick and Cathy Simon if you would like to contact us our number is 816-304-1471.
I am John’s cousin Trevor. Just a couple months ago I was trying to contact John to see how him and his family were doing. It has been several years since the last time I talked to John. Sorry for your loss, If you would like to contact me my number is 816-944-7458
I met John at GM when he worked in body shop and as a new hire and not knowing anyone at first John introduced himself as a team leader. He was offering donuts from our local bakery, “Slavinskis!” Finding that we lived not far from one another we got to know each other well and we grew to be close friends. Often meeting at the donut shop for one of his favorites “yum yums”! I received word of his passing right after an early run there and with a vast array of great memories of him a man among men whom I considered my brother it is with a heavy heart that I must let go but never forgetting the greatness he represented to those who knew and loved him. Till we meet again brother!
We were sorry to hear of John’s passing. It’s been years since we’ve seen him. Our condolences to the family. Love, Cousins Steve & Judy Gillis
I worked with John for about 8 yrs, we went target shooting in Parkville several times,did not know of any problems with him, he was a great guy,this is sad.
John and I had a lot of fun and adventures as kids growing up. We did everything together and he often stayed with us. My brother, Patrick, also remembers all the good times we shared. One of the things I remember the most was that John had a heart of gold, he would do anything for you. The last time I talked with him, he told me the greatest love in his life was his family; wife Bea and his son Kyle. He was a great dad, always talking about how proud he was of Kyle and the many things he would be doing with him. I’m sorry we didn’t have more time in life to get together again. I will miss you ‘cuz’. With sorrow and love. Cousin James My contact number is 424-744-0623
Today is a sad day for the entire family but especially for you Bea and son Kyle. My condolences to all and to fond memories.

I knew John from GM. I was a supervisor in material. What a great and awesome guy! We shared a love for rescue pets which put him at the top of my list. Sending hugs and prayers in your time of need. So very sorry to hear of his passing.
John was a great friend among very few. His love for the outdoors an hard work will be with me for the rest of my time here. I can hear his voice often and it always brings a smile. John will be missed by me among many others and offer my condolence to Bea & family.
