Jon and I traveled all over the state of Arkansas and sometimes Texas for Reliance for many years. We had many adventures during our travels, and he always wanted to go out to eat and then go shopping in the evenings. He loved shopping at TJMaxx and HomeGoods and I swear we have bought out a few Hobby Lobby stores! He always had good taste an an eye for style. We fought like siblings but always made up the next day and got the job done. I loved him like a brother and will miss him so much! My thoughts and prayers go out to his family and everyone at Reliance.

When I would run into John at Reliance, I always enjoyed visiting with him. He always had a story to tell me. I loved seeing him during the Christmas season making sure our office area was bright & cheerful with decorated trees & other decor. He was very talented. John will be missed by his Reliance family! I will be praying for your family during this difficult time.

John you touched our lives in many ways. You always had a fun comment or story. We always got so tickled watching you decorate those Christmas Trees. You loved it but they also drove you crazy at the same time. You will always be remembered here at Reliance.
