John's Last Run

On Friday, January 20, John passed away peacefully surrounded by Karen and family. John survived 47 months after being diagnosed with multiple lesions of glioblastoma multiforme. He ran his cancer marathon with grace, courage, and an indomitable spirit that strengthened all who had the honor of knowing him. His extended family holds him in their hearts as one of their greatest teachers, proving that life is fragile and precious, and that love conquers all.

Shine on, John! Check out all the trails where you now journey so that when our paths once again cross, you can show us all the purest streams and mountain vistas.

Great run, John! We love you and carry your Olympic torch in our hearts.
