I'm so shocked and saddened to hear of this news. John and his family might not even remember me, but I dearly remember them. In 1999, I moved to Long Beach with my mother Linda and was staying with my uncle. Home life was not great, and I had been invited over to meet John by his father one afternoon. I'd never met such a loving, ideal family. They accepted me with such kindness, and John quickly became my best friend. I'd be in his room watching him play video games (mainly Super Smash Bros or Castlevania) and recall working in their backyard that year, helping them to extend their house. They were always very kind to me. I remember one such memory when something bad had happened, his parents took me aside and as I wept to them, they assured me I was a great person. John was such a great friend, one of the dearest I ever had all my life, and I truly wish I had gotten in touch with him sooner. Truly devastated by this news and am so sorry for your loss. I included my email address if you would like to get in touch. I miss you all dearly. RIP my friend.

I still struggle with the concept that John has left us. I met John in one of his favorite games, "Eve Online". John was always quick to provide assistance and good conversation. In just a few short months, we got very close and shared many late-night conversations just about live in general.
Our personal careers mimic'd one another quite closely and I remember specifically telling him that he would be surprised that, although he was very mature for his age he would look back from age 35 and not even recognize the man he was today. This story I keep with me every day of my life now.
So tragic that he was not able to realize that statement. Thank you brother for the memories, will meet again in the stars.

Barb, Mike, Herme, Family & Friends… You have my sincerest condolences. It's been way too many years. I wish I had met this fine young man whom I would have considered a cousin.

I just learned of this terrible loss. For a short time in 2010, John was my roommate at submarine School in Groton, Connecticut. He gave me some tips, seeing as how he had been there longer than I had, and Sparked some interest in the types music he enjoyed. Hr also helped rekindle my interest for Airsoft and anime.
During our time as oommates, he also lent me his car so that I could drive to Rhode Island on weekend Liberty to see my girlfriend.
John was an all-around great guy, and a great roommate.

Its a little hard to accept that John has left this world. It feels just like yesterday that he would give me little motivational talks when we were on the boat together. It felt like even though he was always busy or always in the middle of something that he would always have time to talk to me and help me get through what was bothering me.
I will never forget all our times spent together, and more so, our times out at different liberty ports like Japan, Guam, and Thailand. John was the man who chose to hang out and befriend me regardless of the negative cloud that hung above me during that time. Because of that act, I ended up enjoying whatever days off were allowed. I have learned many valuable lessons from John, lessons that I continue to utilize today in my new work center.
My condolences to the Pineda family. John was a unique, honest, and funny man. He will surely be missed by all. Rest in Peace, John.

Damn brother, you left us way too soon. We had some awesome times together that I'll cherish forever. To your Family, I will tell you that John was an amazing friend and shipmate. Always knew how to make people laugh, sometimes at the worst of times which made it all the better.
Fair winds and following seas my friend, we'll see each other again.

Over the years I looked online every so often for John. Trying to track him down to thank him and see how he was. I never could. Now I see this through an old boat mate of his just after thinking of him again. He served with my husband and through John I met Russ. Russ and I have two children and I feel so thankful in part to John for this life. I am so deeply saddened by his passing.

Hello,
I only ever knew John by he's Eve Online video game name of Richter. I have played video games with him for years and we have talked about everything together; from my own recent marriage to his past marriage, military career, politics and the meaning of life. We had always talked about getting a beer together in Las Vegas where I live or the next time I was in LA.
In Eve people come an go a lot, and so it's rare to find connections and friendships with people you have never met and to want to meet someone in person. I always thought I would met him someday since we were both so young and had the world before us. He death has left me feeling small.....it reminds me to bring the ones I love closer and met the people I always wanted to; but never did. I wish I would have gotten that beer with him in this life.
I wish I was able to come join everyone in celebrating his life! He made an impact on the online world he took part in and I represent over 100 people who knew him, talked with him, and was influenced by him. He was my right hand in this game we played together and he could never be replaced. Many people find online friendships to be an odd thing; but to us they are just as important as the people we call friends face to face.
We have lost something with John; a peace of ourselves. I believe one day he will return it to us when we meet on the other-side again.
