I always looked up to John. He was really good in sports, outgoing and popular at high school. The funny thing I remember about John was his walk. He carried himself different than most, like a wrestler sort of. My condolences to his family, I am sure he was a great husband and father.

John was such a nice young man, I am saddend to hear of his passing. The whole Koontz family was very kind, and i always thought John and Rick were alot alike. Rest in Peace John, you deserve it.
