Mark and The Hixson Family,We are so sorry to hear of John’s passing. We had only met him a couple of years ago when my Mother, Louise Morrow, had hired him for a legal matter. I could tell immediately he was a very compassionate, and down-to-earth man. Such a wonderful person. Our thoughts and prayers are with the entire Hixson family as you deal with the tremendous loss of John. I know you all have wonderful memories of John, and with those memories he will never die in your heart. Let these memories help sustain you in the days ahead as your grieve his loss. God has selected a wonderful angel to watch over us. May God Bless the Hixson Family,Louise Morrow,Travis and Patty Irons
