to the San Bernardino community. Fellow firefighter and friend Jared Cutler says, “John was a perfectionist in all he did. He wasn’t large in stature, but his personality and passion for every- thing he did was infectious. Whenever John was around he was smiling, laugh-
ing and having a good time.”
John, an avid wakeboarder who took
2nd place in the 2011 Firefighter Olym- pics, was a member of the Canyon Lake Wakeboard Club and part of the team who teach children how to wakeboard and ski during the club’s Learn to Ride Day events.
Jarad says, “John also cared about the community he served in about as much as he cared for wakeboarding. So much so that he wanted to share the
one thing that gave him so much joy with nearly 50-60 inner city kids from San Bernardino, most of who had nev- er been on a boat before. John set up a “Wake the World” event by himself and gained the attention of boat dealerships and boat companies. Even Chick-Fil-A stepped up and provided all the food for the event. It turned out to be a successful event and John had hopes to put together another one in the future.”
Captain Roberts says he is proud of the display of brotherhood among his fellow firefighters. “Kristen and the kids lost their hero, and the boys of Battalion 2 made their tough Christmas a little bit better. I am proud of the guys at stations 10, 94, and 97, they made a difference to a fellow brother and his family. Merry Christmas and rest in peace John.”
