Steve, Janel, and Wendy
I have been gone for over a week and was heartbroken when I heard this.  Our prayers and thoughts are with you all at this time.  

I have fond memories of John and times spent at Portland.  He was always ready to take a trip on the golf cart and had a smile to go with it.  Elaine and I have lost a child and we know that you will never forget--but please remember all those great times and the smiles and may the Good Lord give each of you the serenity and strength to go forward.  
Bear

I want to thank everyone for the e-mails, cards and calls. I , my wife 
Janel and daughter Wendy are devastated and they are a comfort. We had no 
warning signs   or clue. Till I went in the shop Monday afternoon and found 
him - he left no note. He was on/off again with his girlfriend but so are a 
lot of 15 year olds. And not sure if that was the reason.
I want to thank Brice and Spencer for making the trip to calling hours on 
Wednesday, it meant more than you know.
Local support has been overwhelming , thank God we live in a small town. We 
were met for grave side services with most of the high school students and 
staff. The FFA boys with the girls as escorts, in official dress,  were 
pallbearers a very pleasant  surprise to us and the kids idea. John was 
very involved in the program following in his sisters footsteps as was she.
To those that offered an ear via phone or e-mail I may that you up on it in 
a month or 3. I am sure dark days are ahead as we deal with it.
Again my family wants to thank all my list/Portland friends for their support.
Hug your kids and tell them that you love them!!!!!!!!!

- Steve, Janel, and Wendy
