My memories of John begin with him being the best big brother a little girl could have.
He protected me from the darkness and stayed by my side.
He was the first boy I danced with, the song, How Much is That Doggy in the Window!
John, you are loved and missed. You are in our thoughts & hearts forever brother!

John touced many lives. Evident by the number of people at his memorial service whom I know he loved very much. I also know of many poeple that couldn't make it. He would say "thats alright", because he loved you too. John was a man of few words but had a very large "inner circle". I am sure that he is in a better place. I still lay in bed every night, and still sometimes cry myself to sleep.I'm sure time will heal this, like it does all wounds. We must all stay strong. I miss him.

God Bless John, as I have very fond memories of him from when we were young. He was always so kind, sweet and nice during our visits. Please pass along our sympathy to everyone in your family. We are very sorry for your loss.

John will always be one of my closest friends.They broke the mold when they created him and to say he was a good man would be an understatement. Many friends come and go but only a choice few do you long to reunite with and while I wait for my day I will smile knowing when that day comes Wags will be waiting for me with that big smile and a shot of JACK. From all your friends that love and miss you John heres to you and we will party again this time our party will never end. CHEERS!!

To my beloved friend,I will never forget what you did for me. I hopped a bus bound for Florida, knowing only you. you picked me up in Tampa and I never looked back. In the end we lived so close but I was always so far away. I'm sorry I let you down, you were there for me and I didnt have the courage to be there for you. You will live forever in the hearts and minds of us all. May the Lord welcome you home and give you peace. Sleep well John Wagner, your friend always.

If I could relive yesterday, if even for a while, I'd say goodbye and kiss you, and maby see you smile, but then I fully relized that this could never be, for emptiness and memories would take the place of me, and when I thought of worldly things things, that I might miss tomorrow, I thought of you, and when I did, my heart was filled with sorrow.

Wags, I miss you sooo much, I struggle with the why did this happen? I wish I could change this and wish I could have taken some of that burden for you, it would have been worth it to have you here. Now I can only hope you hear me when I talk to you, still missing you Johnny Wags. Love Stephanie

Well here it is. Thought it would get easier. Then comes your birthday. I still am lost but finding my way. To say you were my brother would be an understatement. You weren't my brother, you were part of the fabric of my being. I will always love and miss you. I'll see you soon enough. Keep the faith.

It is still hard to think about loosing you. When you moved so far away and lost the contact we had while you were here, I never thought I would lose you so soon. I have been thinking about you alot lately. Wondering if you think of me. I really do miss you.

It just hasn't gotten any easier, still think of you and miss you. I really don't think that will ever change. I will just miss you forever and have so many regrets and wish things could have been different. Always thinking of you when I see the sun set or rise, a full moon or just a sky full of stars...I will always remember you!

Sorry I haven't wrote in awhile, I know you know when people are here. I miss you very much, missed calling you on your birthday, I did that every year like clockwork as you called me on mine. Well apparently, your family isn't allowed to see your children. Tara was in Buffalo for her sisters wedding and told Rich Marinez not to let any of us know. And he didn't till she left. Isn't that typical! Well love ya lots bro, will write again soon.

Well, I couldn't even bring myself to leave you a note on the 4th, but I am here now. I still can't believe what it felt like when George came to moms and told us you were gone. Why? That is a good question, we all needed you so much. We love you more than you will ever know. It is a very sad time brother.

Miss you more everyday, Happy Birthday Johnny..rest in peace love

You will always be the son who left without saying good bye Patse. You were as close as a son could get. I pray you are happier now. The children can always ask me or any of my kids how much we loved you as you were one of my kids. Enjoy the peace we will all get there eventually and really have a party. Love you so much. Patse

I find this a little disturbing that his wife, MY MOM was not mentioned here because they were very much in love & she does miss & love him & think of him EVERYDAY just as much as anybody else, but i miss you daddy, not a day goes by that i don't think of you . it's hard now especially since i'm growing up. You would of had a grand daughter & she's absolutely beautiful might i add, i'm also married now & my husband is in the ARMY. My name is now RACHEL RIVERA & his name is BERNIE RIVERA. he takes very good care of me & your grand daughter & you two would really get along! it brings me to tears to know she will never get the chance to meet you nor were you here to see me start my life with my husband. i can't tell you i miss you & love you enough. you may be gone physically but you will NEVER be gone in my heart. I LOVE YOU <333333

Six years ago I said time heals all wounds. I may have been wrong. Still hurting pretty bad. You see bro, I am writing this because there was a facebook link. I clicked and here I am, still lost but finding my way. Everyone seems to think of you in January, no not here. I like May, I like late nights in the summer, I like when just sound of a guitar riff or certain line in a song makes you come flooding back. I refuse to let January get me down when I get so much joy remembering the best times with you. No I will not hang my head, I will remember run in's with trains, cleaning up paint on Mom's new carpet, and getting big charlie drunk when everyone said it couldn't be done. I will remember a time when having fun was the only thing worth having.
I love you my Brother

Thinking of you always, I know you're watching me and keeping me on the right track. I miss you everyday, it sucks that I can't remember the sound of your voice or the way your big old belly would jiggle when you'd laugh! 9 years you've been gone, NINE YEARS. It still seems so surreal. I just wanna pick up the phone and hear your voice. I wanna watch you and my baby girl play. I know you two would be inseparable. I wanna wake up from this nightmare and joke with you again, walk through Walmart and crack jokes! I wanna be that little girl who thought the world of her daddy! Growing up is just another reminder that my life is going on without you, and there is nothing I can do but keep your memory alive! I LOVE YOU OLD MAN ???????? I miss you every single second, keep watch over my family & I.
