I had only known JC from working at Ward Trucking for a short time, but the time I spent around him it was fun and a lot of laughs. Good people are hard to find and he will be missed by us all. Let the family seek comfort with Lord to help with this very rough time.
I not only knew JC as a friend but we were like brothers and I will miss him and not only did I work with him a lot of year’s but we also shared a lot of laughs. We tried to out do each other on pranks!
My thoughts and prayers to his family and friends. I’m so sorry for your lost.
