Basketball at the police station in Cahokia in the late 80s and 90s. John was always there. Played hard, laughed, was a great all-around guy. Gone too soon.

I think back to my childhood days meeting John, he always brought a smile to my face. Even through the years, every time I seen him, he made me laugh. My thoughts & prayers are with the Link Family & the very large group of friends he has.

Sorry for your loss!!

Shared many rounds of golf with you my friend. You were always positive, and we had many laughs together. RIP bro.
John was a great guy whose smile always lit up the room. He was small in stature, but large in presence and loved life. Prayers to comfort Lisa, Payton and all his loved ones 🙏🙏
I remember your Uncle Merle and I and our kids ( your cousins Brett, Shane and Ty) at your wedding, especially the dancing! Such a happy occasion!!! Hold on to your good times together, Lisa, and the wonderful daughter you had together!
John will be missed by many good friends he had a heart of gold and a soul only ONE truely knows.
My condolences to Lisa, Payton, Dawn and your families. It’s been quite a few years since I’ve seen John. Sorry to hear the news.
