December 26, 2023 at 4:42 pmI only kicked it with John a few times shoot like forever ago. Playing paintball, airsoft, and we went to see Avatar when it came out in theaters. He really stuck in my mind as a uniquely smart and kind dude. It pains me to learn hes gone. Love and condolences to his family.

December 26, 2023 at 6:35 pmI met John when he came to Gallatin as one of our student interns. It was clear from the moment we met that he possessed a spark of intelligence and curiosity that had been fostered by the people around him. I thoroughly enjoyed listening to him talk about the things he was working on and seeing the passion he held for figuring out how literally everything worked and how he could make it better. The ten years I’ve known him simply wasn’t enough, John you will be remembered fondly. My condolences to his family, he loved you dearly and spoke of you often.

December 28, 2023 at 3:24 amJohn was my best friend in middle school, and we were pretty close through our the first years of highschool. John was always so smart, so kind, and really funny. Some of my fondest memories of around that time were tinkering in the Tzioumis basement, or lighting fire works off with him. One of my favorite memories was his mom warning about trouble in the neighborhood where I lived, and he thought he’ll be hanging out with the troublemakers. My condolences and love to his family. John was one of a kind!
