all-
John's wife reports on Facebook that John is no longer with us. A long-time friend of his alluded to as much in another post on his wall.
I do not know the particulars any more than that.
I met John several times. A hell of a nice guy, a gentle soul with a keen sense of humor. A newlywed, he will never know the daughter he and his wife have been expecting, and I find that truly heartbreaking.
Rest in peace, my friend.
The childhood friend Exnihil never had.

Just saw the post from his wife. Apparently he had a heart attack this morning.
He and his wife are expecting their first child.

Holy cow, how horrible. He had only just gotten married a couple months ago, as well. I only met John once, back in 2009, but I echo Kent's sentiments above - he was a very sweet and good-natured fellow, and our community will be poorer for his loss. Rest in peace, John.

May his soul rest in peace.
His wife and soon-to-be-born daughter are in my thoughts and prayers.

I add my condolences. I never met John in person, but his posts here reflected a kind spirit and warm sense of humor. Rest well.

Oh no, this is terrible news. I'm stunned to hear this. I've known John, like a lot of us, for years on LW and also got to meet him in San Diego. He was a real cool guy with a fun sense of humor. I'm really going to miss him! And his poor wife and daughter....this is really heart-breaking.

I met John at the big LW meetup in San Diego in '08. He was a really great guy and way too young. How sad that his little girl will never know her daddy.
Rest in peace, my friend.

Hate to hear any of us have gone on. Very sad. I've seen his posts before, he seemed a good guy.
Damn you, you kids! Get off my lawn or I'm callin' tha cops!

Good God...this is horrible.
So saddened by this. I only know John through here and on FB...where I have had a great time interacting with him.

Thinking of John, I remembered a story he told of the San Diego Comic Con. It seems while walking about at the Con he saw Jonathan Frakes talking to a woman. He went up to Mr. Frakes and asked if he would mind having his picture taken together. Mr. Frakes said "sure" & John asked the woman if she would mind taking the picture. She did and after the picture was taken, Mr. Frakes said something to the effect that he was surprised that John didn't want the woman in the picture too. As the two of the walked away, John realized that the woman was Marina Sirtis.

Thanks, Quislet, Esq. Whenever we lose someone we also lose a thousand living stories. Peace, John, you will be missed.

I was floored when I saw heard the news on Facebook and was hoping I simply misread it. Like many others here I mainly knew him online but had the privilege of meeting him at our big get together in at SDCC'08. He was a really nice guy and a pleasure to know. He sounded so happy lately online enjoying being married and looking forward to the birth his daughter. Rest in peace man.

I'm horrified and in shock... LOVED seeing his posts on Facebook about the woman he obviously adored! I still have an unreturned "POKE" from him, I was saving for just the right moment... This is the definition of tragic.

This is terrible! He just got married and his sweet, beautiful bride is pregnant!
I met John & Addie last year and we clicked instantly. He was a big, laid back, too-smart-for-his-own-good, teddy bear of a man. He was witty & friendly & treated me like an old friend, even though we just met. He put up with my flaming, multiple hugs & kisses, and ever since, he's been my FB super-friend; always sending me private messages & pokes, and always posting stuff I might find of interest on my wall.
I'm too shocked to even process this. Is existence really this random? Are we really this unimportant in the grand scheme of things? Why is Addie-this wonderful person-being punished this way?? I'm so angry & lost right now, I can't scream loud enough!! We are nothing in the creator's eyes. NOTHING!!!!
