Our beloved husband, father & son, John "Johnny" Payne passed away at Shock Trauma after weeks of serious illness. Even though John was given 3 weeks of the highest level of life saving medical care, his illness was sadly too severe.

It is impossible to describe the void this loss creates in our lives and the lives of everyone who knew John. He was a "shirt off his back" kind of guy for anyone he ever met and had the most giving, generous heart we have ever known. He was often generous to a fault, helping others & giving to causes that touched him. Even when he didn't have much, he still always wanted to give.

At this time we humbly ask our friends and family to channel some of John's spirit and to help us with resolving his overwhelming medical bills and final wishes.

Sadly our family has experienced a great deal of loss and these experiences  helped John form a clear desire for his final wishes, which we thought there was a modest life insurance policy to cover. Unfortunately due to a recent employer change that policy never went into effect.

If you can find it in your heart to contribute we would be deeply grateful. No donation is too small to be unappreciated. Thank you all for loving John and we are counting on you to help us keep his memory alive.
