John,
We will remember you as a strong man with a big heart.
We are grateful to have known you, grateful for your love of family, friends and anyone in need. You left us too soon. May you rest in Heavenly Peace.

Love, Jan and Dave

I’m sorry to hear John passed away. He was way too young. We were in touch via Facebook. I’ll miss interacting with him there. He was always supportive.

I knew John from the work he had done for me. One of the kindest people I’ve ever met, he would always be there for me if I had a pressing matter to deal with, and if not I knew to get in line and he would get to my job when he could...like triage in a hospital! He always spoke so kindly of others. The earth is a sadder place with his passing. RIP John Shippey.
