He loved Thomas and always cheered for them at any game. John lived out his life in Burns Flat Oklahoma since 2004. He cheered for the local team but if Thomas was playing, he always cheered for them. John always bled green. Thomas was his favorite school and it was the school that accepted John for who he was. We must say goodbye to John. His service is on February 19th at the Thomas High School Auditorium where he was the happiest person that could ever be. John had a childlike faith in God and he loved his church. John attended the Living Waters Church in Burns Flat and was a member in recent years. He also attended the Cumberland Presbyterian Church of Burns Flat where he had been a member for years. John was loved by all and never met a stranger. So please join us on February 19th at 2 p.m. at the Thomas High School auditorium to celebrate John's life and to give him the send-off that he so richly deserves.  It’s what he would do for everybody else.
