It's the first Father's Day we've spent without you. We miss you so much every day and even more so our daughters are missing their Dad today. Wish you were still with us, John.

John was a loving caring person. So genuine.
He was a successful business man as well as a true loving family man and friend. I was a classmate at 71st High as well as a friend. His smile was bigger than day and he will be missed. My heart goes out to Carol,Stephanie and Lindsey.

John was a gentle soul and will be greatly missed! I light this candle for his family- may they have strength in this time of heartbreak!

My Fayetteville buddy, I will miss you. You always had a smile and a cheerful greeting for all who crossed your path...my heartfelt prayers to your family that the sorrow of your passing will be replaced with the joy of the memories of times you spent together....John may you walk thru the aspen to be with the Lord.

My condolences to Carol, Stephanie and Lindsey. Everyone that knew John will always remember him and smile. He loved life with his gentle soul. John was my classmate in school and loved his friends while at Seventy-First and even more through the years. We will miss his smile and enjoying everyone at our reunions.
John will always be with us in spirit.....
May all the memories bring you comfort, peace and a smile !

Blessings surround you John and know that your family is enveloped in His Love always. Miss your smiling face and the kindness you spread in the World. Blessings.......

I had the privilege to work near Johnny boy...what a genuine...sweet soul he was.
He has accomplished all we can hope for, which is to be remembered...remembered with a smile on our face, and a warmth in our hearts. You will be remembered kindly.

You were such a good man with a huge heart. You drove me crazy but we kept one another sane in the office! I miss you already. Love and hugs to your family. xoxox

Carol...we never met your husband John,but heard nothing but great things about him...so sorry for your loss. Love and prayers...Joni and Bill Shaloo

John was a friend of Bob's and mine. Now Bob is welcoming into Heaven where he's been since 2012.

"John I know that you will never stop dancing" in gods world! You are a great man! Thanks for your friendship!

My deepest prayers and thoughts are with you at this time. John was an amazing soul as true one of a kind man. May you find comfort in your memories and love from the collection of friends he touched.

John and I crossed paths early in life. We were so young and impressionable especially regarding religion. It was back in 1973 when we met at the Watchtower Farm while performing religious volunteer work in upstate NY. We became friends instantly. We were both from NC and he was such a genuine person. Our lives have taken different paths as often the case. But I will always remember the genuine smile and sincere interest in others. May God bless him and his family!

My condolences to John's family. He was a sweet, kind man loved by so many, and a high school classmate I always thought highly of. I am still processing that he is gone. I'll miss him.

Farewell, to my dear friend for all time, until we meet again. God bless you and thanks for being all that you were to so many.
Ps...enjoy the music in Rock and Roll Heaven, as I know you will!

John was a great friend. Dorothy and I enjoyed our friendship and good times in Fayetteville. Sincere sympathies are extended to Carol, Lindsay, Stephanie and the family. John will be missed by everyone who knew him.

Rest in Peace Beautiful Soul.

It was a honor to know such a great man. Always had a smile every time I saw him. Prayers for his wonderful family at this tough time.

My deepest sympathy to Carol, Stephanie, Lindsay, and all of John's family. I'm so sorry for your loss. John was a wonderful man. We worked together at RE/MAX Properties and on the PPAR/RSC Board for several years. John will be sorely missed. He had a great sense of humor and always had a kind word for everyone. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

I will miss this man I have called my friend for many years. He sold me my first 2 houses in Fayettevile and was the only man who could call me Dawnie and get away with it!
His family was John's greatest possession and couldn't have loved them more. He was an honest and sincere man that I spent many times with while he was in Fayetteville. He always called and would stop by when he came home. John was one of the good guys....I wil see you again John. Much love and peace!

My heart goes out to John's family and friends. We shared so many things. To say that John was my friend would be an understatement - John was a beloved brother. See ya' later John...

John Wayne was a dear friend to many of us in Fayetteville, NC. His positive "will do" attitude motivated his fellow realtors and friends alike. He was sincere in assisting military families in our area to "find their way home" as he so often stated. We lost a true friend way to early in life...Thank you for your friendship and may God Bless Carol and the family.

John was such a valued member of our RE/MAX Properties, Inc. family and the real estate community. His enthusiasm for his career,co-workers and clients was ever present. It was a true pleasure to call John a co-woker and friend. He will be truly missed. Thoughts and prayers to Carol Stephanie, Lindsay and family.

Missing you, and looking forward to seeing you again, in the Lords presence.

John was not only my Real Estate Partner but one my closest friends. He was true gentleman, friends to everyone he encountered. He cared deeply for his family, friends and clients. He went out of his way to help anyone in need. We lost a great man and he has changed so many that crossed his path. He will be truly missed, fly with the angels John Wayne. I love you!

My sincerest sympathies for all of John's family. I am disbelief he has gone so soon!! He was my friend since High School and such a sweet, caring man for all people. God be with his wife and daughters, and help them to be strong. He will forever be missed. RIP my friend John <3

My heart goes out to you Carol and John's precious daughters. What a shock to know he is no longer with us, but what a comforting thought to know he is with our Lord in Heaven.
John was a kind, funny, witty man. I feel honored to have known him.

Such a tragic loss! I loved going shooting and hiking with him. He sold us our house, too! Rest in Peace, John!

John taught my first CENTURY 21 class in 1990. Always positive-always on his toes! Great teacher and mentor-still use his ideas and teachings 27 years later. So sorry for the family-know he helped many to better themselves and their communities

It has been said......"That People will not Remember What You said,but How You made them Feel with What You Said".....I know John was A Good Man who cared for his Wife and Family.....Loving the Lord and taking his role in Leading his Family seriously.
He served others and the Lord in WHATEVER Capacity he was given,both inside the Church and Outside. A man who took care of his Business Clients desires and Worked hard on their behalf....and Helped others with Business Referrals based on the Need at the Time....
I was called for WHATEVER reason to be there When You breathed your Last and I Know You didn't Suffer....Perhaps that is WHY??? I was there that day....I have Great Memories of conversations about God's Kingdom and the Way you carried Yourself....No Matter What....We All have Our Shortcomings,that's for Sure.....but You will Always be Remembered as "A Good Man".....After God's Own HEART....IMO

Blessings and Comfort from the GOOD Memories and Not Any Bad Ones....

Your friend

I had the pleasure of knowing John while he was a broker at RE/MAX Properties. He always had a smile and a hug for everyone. He went the extra mile for his clients and his coworkers. He will truly be missed. My sympathies to his family at this difficult time. RIP my friend.

My deepest condolences to John's family... I had the pleasure of working with John on a real estate transaction about a year ago a kind, considerate, true professional!

We were so sorry to hear the news about John. Our condolences go to his wife, Carol, his daughters, Stephanie and Lindsay, and to his friends, co-workers, and family members. He loved Colorado Springs. He would often post pictures of his town on facebook so that everyone could enjoy the beauty of Colorado Springs. He was a great realtor, a wonderful father to his children, humble and kind, and a true friend. He will be missed in North Carolina.
