Really going to miss all the good times we use to have we use to relly give it all we had Miss ya bro
well fat boy I knew we would be separated one day but I didn’t know it would hurt so bad. I will always love you. You will always be a big part of me. I went to buy a Christmas tree for you to plant in memory of you I thought I would just go get one but I was wrong it was the hardest thing I could do I did get you one but it wasn’t easy at all I stood there crying as I looked at the trees. I picked a big fat one its name is fat boy since that’s what I called you. I really miss you a lot. when you died you left a big hole in my heart. but one day we will be together again until then just know I love you with all of my heart.
My condolences to the family I’ve known John for 40 years or more and he’s always been respectful to me.. I have some good memories from way back in the day and I will never forget you John Alexander..May you rest in peace my friend
