John Meers

May God be with you and the family as you remember the good times with a loving husband, father, and friend. Sorry we were not able to be with you all. God bless you.

Sue & Family,
I am heartbroken arriving home from Texas to hear of your great loss, knowing I was not here to help you at this difficult time. As you know that I feel like family than friend. It is very difficult to deal with this. We laughed, cried and prayed together. Celebrating our lives, children & grandchildren, supporting each other with wisdom & love. God was so good having brought us all together.

My heart can hear no song, I

What can I say about my dad. He loved all of us unconditionally and taught all of us how to love that way. His love for my mother, sisters and myself will be greatly missed. I know he is now dancing and breathing without pain in heaven and will continue to guide his children and grandchildren. He will forever live on in our hearts. I will miss you dealy day….love always…Your Rock!

Was so sorry to learn of John’s death, and Gib and I extend our deepest sympathy to you, Sue, and your family.
I enjoyed the photos. May he rest peacefully in the arms of Jesus and Mary.

Blessed are YOU cindy to have had an earth angel in your life for you as well are one! YOUR journey continues sweet angel.

Uncle Johnny was one kind hearted man. I will always remember the wonderful times we had together.My uncle played two roles in my life, he wasn’t only my uncle, he was like a granddad to me too. He was a man that you just wanted to be around. He loved his family with all of his heart and we loved him too. I know he is in a better place but I still love and miss him. he is now my guardian angel. I love you

Cindy,
I was sorry to hear of your dad’s passing. Losing someone you love is hard even when you are expecting it.
May God’s grace and peace be with you today and in the days ahead.

Sharon and family,
I was very sorry to hear that your husband/father/grandfather had died. I know it is difficult to believe, but you will survive this loss and be stronger for it. If there is anything I can do, just call.

Sue, I enjoyed working with John at Recovery Plus. He always had a smile for Mary Janski and I. My prayers and thought are with you and your family.

We have been so blessed by this gentle man’s presence. Now we are blessed with many joyous memories and healing tears. Thank you John and Sue for touching my life as only you could.

Sharon,

All of us a St. Michael are praying for you and your family at this hour of sorrow and loss. May God, in his mercy, grant you all his peace, and may the comfort of your faith in Christ bear you up through this difficult time.

God bless you all,

What a wonderful and couragious man, my Uncle Johnny! Although we lived hundreds of miles apart, you would NEVER know it when we were together. He was one of the most loving and giving people I have ever known. Yes, he gave the BEST hugs. All of his family was so important to him. I am so grateful to have spent a wonderful vacation with him and all of my family in Minnesota last summer. It is one I’ll never forget!
Aunt Sue, Karen, Sharon, Cindy & all of my second cousins, I wish I could be with you now in celebrating his life. Know I am thinking of all of you! I love you Uncle Johnny….

I miss you everyday grandpa. I love you forever more and know you are by my side at every moment.

For as long as I can remember, I have looked forward to visits with Sue and Johnny. I came into this family late, and like the rest of the family, Johnny loved me like I had been there always. Johnny gave the best hugs, ones that made you feel as though you were really special, and he was really glad to see you. Even as a teenager, I looked forward to visits from Johnny..and that is saying a lot! One of my most favorite memories is of Johnny holding Nate as a newborn. It is one of my favorite pictures. How lucky we all are to have been blessed with this wonderful person in our lives. I am saddened by the loss of him, but am glad that he is at rest. To all the Meers clan: I wish I could be there with you, but know that even in my absence, you are forever in my thoughts. Johnny’s memory will live on in those who love him.
All my love,
Jessica

I will never forget the love expressed by Johnny’s grandchildren to him while on vacation with him years ago. His love and appreciation for his family was so evident. What wonderful memories we all have of him! God bless you all.

Dear Sue, I am very saddened to learn that John passed away. He was very admired by those who worked with him and he gave so much energy to the care for others. Carolyn

I am very sorry for your loss. I didn’t know him, but I might be able to understand how much he must have inspired you.

I’ve known John for over 20 years. As a coworker, he was a day brightener. He always had a smile and a joke. I was honored to call him my friend; particularly when Sue worked for our program, Senior Helping Hands. Here’s where I saw John as husband, father and a caring friend! I will miss him.

I will always remember all of the happy times I had with my beloved Uncle Johnny and especially cherish the last visit he and Aunt Sue had to our new home in Monroe, NC. I know he is in a better place now but all of my selfish thoughts are getting the best of me…why couldn’t we have just one last time together? I love you and will miss you dearly Uncle Johnny and wish that I could be there in MN with all of my family during this hard but inevitable time. I can’t wait to come up there in 3 weeks for the happy celebration of Diane’s wedding. We love you all.

On behalf of myself, Donna and Charlie, we wish to send our condolences to all of you. I’m so glad that I was able to see Johnnie on your last visit to Richmond. As a counselor, his sincere concern for me was both touching and greatly appreciated. I know he will be missed, and also know that even though we are unable to be with you, each of you are in our hearts.

Semper Fi brother….God bless you and your family. Thank you for your service to our Country.

Please accept my sympathy on the passing of your husband/father. As Christians we know life here on Earth is temporary and the greatest reunion is coming! We will be reunited with our loved ones and our Lord!

As a Patriot Guard member I would like to thank John for his service and dedication to this nation and to keeping us free. We cannot repay that but we honor it. You can rest in peace John, we now have the watch.

May God bless you richly with the peace and comfort of knowing your husband/dad is with the Lord, and may he keep your memories around you to keep you warm.

With love and thanks……
Starr

Feel free to help us celebrate my fathers life … and death with an entry to the online guestbook.

My dad was a man of courage and strength. He left our world with peace and serenity as he passed away on Friday, surrounded by the love of my mom and all us girls. Our hands held his as we supported the taking of his last breath here on this earth.

He died peacefully in his sleep … his journey has come to an end!

I love you Dad … you will be greatly missed but your spirit will live on in all of us who’s lives you touched!
