There is a link on EF for contributions to defray funeral expenses. I kicked in.

Nothing an accident report will say can change the man, the contributions he has made to the Sport Trac world and most importantly the devastation the daughter/family he has left behind feels. I hope you will all remember John as you would wish to be remembered and with words you would want your daughter to read about you ......... because that day will come.:sad:

Just checked in and was shocked to read the news. Very sad loss for the ST community.

This is a really sad loss. Rest in peace. Our prayers go out to his family.:sad::cry:

I see on EF that another board member has apparently bought the Sport Trac from his family.

 

[H D]

That was TxPlates. They were good friends. As far as I can tell from online, he should be the one to have it if not John's daughter.

I was the one who purchased his Sport Trac. I grew up in the 4x4 community and close by John. He and I built my Trac to mirror his and I'm extremely proud to have ever known him. He was my very best friend and I will dearly miss him. I'm very proud for how both communities that he both loved, came out to support him and his family. I take it as an extreme honor that I was able to get his Sport Trac, and I will continue to keep it alive in his honor. There is no one else I could ever consider to be a better friend, I will always miss you Johnstone....
