John Van Damme

For such a short life John lived a full life of joy, adventure and service. John is one of the most loving and caring persons you could know. He enjoyed all things outdoors and in nature.He loved snowboard trips and wake boarding, kite boarding, sky diving and scuba diving. He helped the broken and sick as a paramedic. John had stories for days about crazy patients and long lights on the rig. He saved many lives and taught so many how to do the same. He protected his family ensure they were always taking care of. He loved his Mom, Dad and twin sister. He wanted them to have the best. John did things John’s way which was often the best way and the way that created most memories. John served his country in the US Navy overseas in Guam working with helicopters he earned title of Petty Officer third class. He also earned his Air warfare device (not easy to earn). Guam was a hard duty station but he came back to the states and became a paramedic. Before his passing He was reconnecting with God. John 3:16 was a verse he appreciated. Everything John did was in a big way including loving his friends family and dog Nayla. John was always lightly covered in Nayla's white hair. Let it be clear He wanted to live. He made a mistake a reached for help but for reasons we will never understand they didn’t get to him in time. Let us all love a little harder and never take for granted the time we have with our loved ones on earth.
