Message from Moana Kalili (Mo)

I am truly gonna miss his surprise visits. I think he loved that he could put a smile on my face. Id walk out from the back room... He be standin there by the pastry case Just SMILIN at me. He would walk in with such confidence, there was just a presence about him. He also gave the best hugs, he hugged with all he had in himself. He is one of many that showed me people can have the Aloha Spirit outside of Hawai'i... ALOHA KE KAHI I KE KAHI! A HUI HOU E KU'U HOA

I remember the first couple times I saw / met John. It was when he first got to Paloma and was at the functions for the band like the party at Ashlee's or band camp. The first few times I tried to say hi or have a conversation with him he looked at me like I was so weird and if I was lucky, I'd get a word out of him. I kept trying and soon after he opened up to me. From then on we'd hang out during band, the marching competitions, lunch, after school, and at shows watching our favorite bands. After I got my license, the place I loved going to most was Mi Pueblo to get tacos. I'd text him when I was in town and asked him if he wanted to get something to eat, he of course always said yes. We also worked at Storm Stadium together. I was a manager that split my time between 3 of the concession stands and always tried to match my time in John's concession stand when he was working so we could hang out. I ended up moving to Washington and that's when we weren't connected as much. I got to see him one time after I moved right before he left for boot camp and he told me "it's always a pleasure seeing your face" he will be missed forever and there won't be a day that I won't think of. I remember the way we would laugh at the dumbest things or he'd make the weirdest faces to get my attention. I'll miss his hugs that he always gave whenever we'd see each other and again before we had to leave. Any time I eat pizza I know he'd be right there saying yeeee fkn pizza. Truly an amazing personality once he let you in. The world was a better place with him in it. I'm so incredibly sorry for your loss. There are no words that will ever make this ok. John loved and was loved by so many. We will keep his memories and legacy alive, together. Your family has grown and we will always be here for you. RIP Johnny. I love you.

There are no words that will ever make this pain go away but I hope you find some happiness knowing how amazing your son was. John was an amazing person, always full of life and nothing would change that. He always took a negative and made it a positive no matter the situation. He was one of the funniest people I knew and I think that's what I'm going to miss about him the most. He was always there when I needed him. Ride in Paradise brother.

I am so sorry for your loss. It breaks our hearts when death separates us from the ones we love so much, especially when they are as young as John. The Bible reminds us that God sees our pain and sadness and has promised that soon, "death will be swallowed up forever." (Isaiah 25:8) He will heal our broken hearts by resurrecting our precious loved ones to life again. (John 6:40) Until then, I hope the beautiful memories of John and these promises from God comfort you.

Our hearts go out to our family and we offer our strength and support during this time of need.

Although I hadn't seen John since he was a small boy, he always seemed sweet and happy. Like many of us, touched by creativity, he seemed to have such a bright, talented, and expressive personality.

May his memory live on in his family and his creativity and passion flow through us all. <3
