Terrible news to start the morning. JT was an inspiration to many people. He will be missed in this community but the good work he did will live on. Rest in peace buddy.

He went so suddenly. At about 9 last night I was watching him post on FB about his favorite girl in The Voice make it to the next round. This morning I awoke to read the sad news. He was the most positive guy and a very hard worker. He has blessed many people through his foundation and I am sure his legacy will bless many more. I am very sad to see him go, but I know that he is noe in a better place.

Very sad news, his funeral will break record books for attendance.  I too enjoyed his FB posts, he had lots of friends and was loved by many.  This is actually very shocking!!  Some of my friends shared positive conversations they had with him merely hours ago, one involved a phone conversation of plans for the next few years.  If there is one person who you could tell was touched by Jesus - JT was it.  I only write all this because so many knew him and I'm sure that includes many on this website.  He was a local legend.

What Jeffrey said.  What a terrible loss.  After such a tragic injury, he was still so positive.  We are worse off for his passing. He is in heaven, and we have lost a hero.  Because that's what he was.  Never bitter about such a life change at such a young age. Always working on what he COULD do and not complaining about what he could no longer do. An inspiration for all of us. He will be missed.
