It was by chance that I have, at this late date, just learned of John and David’s passing. My condolences to the family, especially Peter and Mary. I remember kinder and more gentle times in the basement of the Fern Street home listening to John at the piano as he was composing his next great musical piece. I remember him as a talented gentlemen before his time who was patient and accepting.
David was always kind to me. This, I valued beyond measure and Peter knows why. May the rest of our days here on this ever changing world be filled with peace and harmony.

i have known john for 11 yrs. i am still shocked by his passing. the comments people wrote about him are not the person i knew. if you were a friend to him. it was what a true friend. i always told him that i loved his music, and then realized that this was a true .friend i believe this lia set him up. i last spoke w/him was 4/29/13. he told me he was goingto try something new. a roomate. i questioned him abut this. he said he’s helping her. which i believe she was probably homeless, but that’s the way john was. always giving, caringi hope his son won’t be scarred and should get some counseling. i pray for you john and miles and your extended family. i know u are w/your mom now. i will continue to pray for you every day of my life, all the telephone conversations, listening to music and my gosh your stories of your life and events wll remain in my mind. i will truly miss you. love always jorja

I was completely shocked when my sister call me with the news that John was no longer here! John counseled my son and I always looked forward to our meetings twice a week. John had a huge heart and was a talented musician. He always talked of his son Miles. Very proud dad. My thoughts and prayers go out to Miles and all of his family members. You are greatly missed by so many.

John was a gentle loving man. John was inspiring to me as a musician and as a friend. John loved his friends and kept in touch with all of us “croutons” better than any, with the true nature of the name he was called “brother” John. God bless his family, his son, and to all he was close too. Only the good die young , and we miss him all the more because he was so kind . Rest in peace my bother John.

I was saddened to hear of his Death but immediately thought of the joy I shared with him in life. As part of the croutons and the Camp Cross family, he is beloved and cherished. His talents were many and he is missed. Know that he was loved…

We are very heartbroken to hear of John’s passing. John was our daughters counselor for a long time and our daughter Mariah Clevenger remembers him as the drum man. We all prayed together with some of our family that John be resting in heaven with God. BHR has a lot of wonderful counselors and we prayed God would protect them all. If something like this could happen to John, then how safe are the other staff. God Bless you always. Love, Ron, Louanne, Sierra and Mariah – BHR clients…

My deep sympathy for the family. I remember John as an inspirational leader of the group know as the “Camp Cross Croutons”. John brought and held this group together through his commitment to saving the church camp experience when he was still in his teens. Through the years his loving smile, beautiful music, and unwavering belief in the healing power of community continued, and will continue in our memories, to be an integral part of our lives.

Dear family of ” Brother John”,I wanted to mention John’s Father’s book about Jesus, the Wayshower. John let me read it years ago. I hope that Miles comes to know the Bible and find it to be the source of Knowledge and Truth that his grandfather -Grampy must already know. You and my precious grandson, Miles, will always be in my thoughts and prayers.

Dear Family of ” Brother John”,I knew John mostly through the eyes of his devoted son, Miles and his music. Miles was John’s companion on crabbing, fishing , camping and across Washington adventures. He spoke of visits to see Grampy and visits made to see Jeanne and was with her in her last days.John and Miles loved the 4th of July and always had their own fireworks on the Sound below their home. It is my sincere hope for Miles that his Alkins family will help Miles through these sad times. My heartfelt condolences to you all for your loss.

John touched so many lives in an unforgettable way – beginning for me in his late teens (when I met him) to the present. He will always be in my heart as the definition of a “crouton” – a wonderful group of people that embody the meaning of love, inner peace and acceptance.

John, I wondered why I started thinking about you…thanks for stopping by to say ‘goodbye’…Be Blessed & see you on the other side…I have nothing but fond memories of John. We worked together for nearly two years at a before and after school program. It was a pleasure working with him, and having the chance to listen to his music.Take care, John.

It was my privilege to work with John, and I always admired his kind, gentle demeanor. He was one of the most accepting and nonjudgmental people I’ve known. I grieve his death, and I want his family to know what a special person I saw him as.

My memory of John was as a gentle man, friend and brother of a very close friend in his brother Peter. I am heart broken at the pain his passing has caused his immediate family and his Olympia family. May he rest in peace.
