John "B" was always up for a challenge and loved to have a good time. He loved camping, music, movies, the Columbia River, Green Bay Packers, his dad Bill's barbequed ribs and his mom Anita's burritos. John especially enjoyed kicking his dad and brother's butts at the board game Axis and Allies. He had an incredible relationship with his younger brother Matt, and was a great brother to his sister Melanie and uncle to her children. He loved spending time with family and friends and never hesitated to tell everyone how much he loved them. He was the life of the party because of his great sense of humor and generosity. John was very loving and never hesitated to open his heart, mind and arms to his loved ones. It was a rarity to see John without friends or family.
