Sweet John....Our hearts broke getting the call on the day you passed. You will never be forgotten. Your hearty laugh & mischievous laughter will forever echo the halls of "The Wood". Thank you for always having our back and being the best limo driver for Trey on prom night. I trusted you with my life without giving it a second thought. Rest in peace my friend. We love you. Jenn & Kevin
Daddy you were the first man I ever loved. I want to thank you for loving me. I was blessed to have you in my life as a child. You were my gentle giant, when you picked me up it felt like I was flying. While our world changed and what seemed like a lifetime passed ; I was fortunate to not only see you , but , hold you in my heart again and experience your love and deep laughter. Best of all I was honored your love spilled over to my children and they were able to love their “ Daddy John”. To all of the Washington family my deepest condolences, and please know that John C Washington may be gone ,but he will never be forgotten , He could not talk enough about his sons and grand children, and trips to visit his sister and family and his good friends , you all were his everything . My prayers are with you. “Daddy “ so long for now.
Mr. John Washington, Thank you for being a light to me and the Greenwood family. Even though we met when I started working as a service attendant in 2022, John and I had already crossed paths in 2016 when he was a service attendant for my grandfather's funeral. In fact, I found a photo of John passing me a rose for a flower tribute. And come 2022 or 2023, I saw John and simply said, "thank you" to which he looked at me puzzled and questioned, "for what?" And I explained to him that he had been there assisting my family. I will miss the almost mischievous moments as he would joke around at work. Our most recent gimmick was bumping into me during my lunch hour and John would laugh, "every time I see you, you're eating!" I will miss him asking, "ya ready?" before heading off to our services together. Rest in eternal peace, John Washington. Til we meet again.
Mr. Washington, my heart hurts knowing you will not roam the halls of Greenwood anymore. Thank you Doc...thank you for being you, and for welcoming me into your inner circle. You will forever hold a special place in my heart. I love you John.
I truly enjoyed working with John. He and I would just banter back and forth with each other just having fun while we worked together. He had a great sense of humor and would make me laugh even if I came to work feeling down. He would NOT let me stay down. I'm really going to miss him and the back and forth we shared. May he rest in peace. I know he deserves it. Kevin J.
