Guest Book

I went to school with John and remember him from Shelby Junior High and High School. He was in some of my classes and we were both on track team as I recall. He had such a great sense of humor and had me laughing, sometimes to the point of tears. Such a nice person and very unique. My condolences to the family and his many friends. - Bobby G.

To my precious cuz John. Never met a person as real as sugarloop! Realist person ever, always keeping you smiling, laughing and smelling good on top of it. Everybody is somebody in this world and John was soooo dear to me. Hate to not see cuz walking down the street with his rolling cart selling those good oils and me stopping him to pull over in the parking lot to buy as many as I can. Sugarloop sold oils to everyone who had the cash to buy including the ladies at the banks in Shelby Nc. What an awesome entrepreneur he was. I will truly miss my cuz terrible and may you Rest In Peace John until we meet again. Luv cousin Jackie from Kingstown!❤️❤️❤️🥰
