With our deepest sympathy for your loss, please accept our condolences.
To: Troy Shreves, Kristi Kinger, Neda Burk, Sarah Shreves, grandparents, and extended family. I offer you my deepest and heartfelt sympathy at the tragic loss of your son, your brother, your grandson, and your relative. I would personally deliver my sympathy except that I live in Georgia.
I knew John principally through Troy Shreves. My son, James Williams (b: Feb 1985), was on Troy’s baseball team when James was 11. Kristi would remember me as the one who took Troy to the hospital when Troy crashed into the light pole and suffered a concussion while at practice one day.
What I remember about John was a 10 year old boy, who along with his sister, tagged along with his dad to baseball games that Troy coached. John was polite and cheerful. Both he and his sister both loved to tag along with Troy.
May the shining light of our Lord Jesus comfort you all at this dark hour in your grief.
Sincerely,
Asa J Williams
