A long-time friend of his alluded to as much in another post on his wall. I do not know the particulars any more than that. I met John several times. A hell of a nice guy, a gentle soul with a keen sense of humor. A newlywed, he will never know the daughter he and his wife have been expecting, and I find that truly heartbreaking. Rest in peace, my friend. The childhood friend Exnihil never had.

I only met John once, back in 2009, but I echo Kent's sentiments above - he was a very sweet and good-natured fellow, and our community will be poorer for his loss. Rest in peace, John.

I've known John, like a lot of us, for years on LW and also got to meet him in San Diego. He was a real cool guy with a fun sense of humor. I'm really going to miss him! And his poor wife and daughter....this is really heart-breaking.

How sad that his little girl will never know her daddy. Rest in peace, my friend. The only character in all of literature who has been described as "badnass" while using the phrase "vile miscreant."

It seems while walking about at the Con he saw Jonathan Frakes talking to a woman. He went up to Mr. Frakes and asked if he would mind having his picture taken together. Mr. Frakes said "sure" & John asked the woman if she would mind taking the picture. She did and after the picture was taken, Mr. Frakes said something to the effect that he was surprised that John didn't want the woman in the picture too. As the two of the walked away, John realized that the woman was Marina Sirtis. Big Dog! Big Dog! Bow Wow Wow!

Like many others here I mainly knew him online but had the privilege of meeting him at our big get together in at SDCC'08. He was a really nice guy and a pleasure to know. He sounded so happy lately online enjoying being married and looking forward to the birth his daughter. Rest in peace man.

I still have an unreturned "POKE" from him, I was saving for just the right moment... This is the definition of tragic.

lil'rhino Legionnaire! L Joined: Jul 2003 Posts: 4,322	This is terrible! He just got married and his sweet, beautiful bride is pregnant! I met John & Addie last year and we clicked instantly. He was a big, laid back, too-smart-for-his-own-good, teddy bear of a man. He was witty & friendly & treated me like an old friend, even though we just met. He put up with my flaming, multiple hugs & kisses, and ever since, he's been my FB super-friend; always sending me private messages & pokes, and always posting stuff I might find of interest on my wall. I'm too shocked to even process this. Is existence really this random? Are we really this unimportant in the grand scheme of things? Why is Addie-this wonderful person-being punished this way?? I'm so angry & lost right now, I can't scream loud enough!! We are nothing in the creator's eyes. NOTHING!!!!
