I was saddened and moved to attend John's service today. John left us much too early and leaves behind a family who clearly deeply values and loves him.
I did not know John had a twin brother who is a minister. He co-officiated the service.
I did not know about the heroism John showed in the Marines (as detailed in this article), but it is very consistent with the courage John showed in, according to the words of his brother, "speaking truth to power" when he perceived injustices in his financial audit role.
In addition to the various honors the article described, former Mayor Kathy McKeithen from Atherton attended the service which was a sign of additional respect from the community he served and loved.
May he rest in peace.

An honorable man that stood up to corruption. RIP. Only the good die young. And, yes, these days, 58 is young.

He was a great man that did a lot of good shining a light on what was going on in Atherton.

I wish John Johns went to trial so we could have seen what was really going on behind closed doors in Atherton. He was paid not to go to trial. Atherton said it was cheaper to settle than go to trial. Is that true, or was Atherton hiding something. RIP John Johns. Sorry for what Atherton did to you.
