John Jones was one of Danny's best friends from St. George. Danny roomed with John at BYU for about 3 years. He is honestly one of the best people we have ever known and we will miss him dearly. John and Emily have become some of our closest friends as couples. They are some of the greatest examples of those who are truly trying to live the gospel every day. In a way, John was too good for this world. He truly believed in the gospel and truly believed in his Savior. And because of his belief, he lived that way. We will be eternally grateful for the influence John has and will continue to be in our lives. We love him. Our hearts and prayers go out to Emily, Lizzy, and the little one.
We are so grateful that we were able to see John and Emily just 3 days before the caving accident. They called us on Sunday and we were able to visit with them for only a few hours. It was so short, yet those few hours are so precious to us. These pictures are the from that visit.

Lizzy and Charlie. She's definitely tall for her age and Charlie is a little shrimpie. They are just 5 months apart.

That is a beautiful tribute! I am so sorry for your loss and I hope his sweet wife has peace and comfort through such an incredibly difficult time!
What a great memory you will have of him. And can I just tell you, every time I look at your blog and see that little panda face I just about die cause he is so stinkin' cute!
Such a sad story. Great tribute!
Seidi, thank you for that wonderful tribute. Right away when we first heard the news, we immediately thought of you and wanted to call and see how you both were doing (hence the phone tag game between Danny & Ryan). A friend of mine posted her impressions of the memorial service, and included some of the things Danny spoke of. I was grateful to feel like I was there, and once again I am in awe of you and Danny and your strength and perspective. These pictures bring tears to my eyes all over again. They are such a tender mercy for you to cherish forever, I am so glad that you took time to even take them without realizing the depth of their worth in just a few days. What a precious gift to have close to you and a great way to remember him. I am continually praying for Emily and her children, my heart goes out to her.
That is so great that you got so many recent photos of John. It makes me want to be better at taking pictures since you really never know how long you have with someone. Thanks for the nice tribute.
