Our hearts are broken beyond words. John earned his wings, for all that he did on this Earth and in service to his community. Most importantly, his love and devotion for his family and friends. John had a bigger than life smile and personality. He leaves behind his Brothers in Blue, who were like his second family after serving 26 years by their side. He was an exceptional Police Officer and and even better man.

Friends may call on THURSDAY April 15, 2021 from 4 – 8 PM at Miller Funeral and Cremation Services, Inc. (3325 Winton Road South). Due to COVID-19 restrictions, please CLICK HERE to register for visitation.
