It's been 2 years today. John was my best friend, and someone I will always remember. It's been a rough past 2 years, but I'm trying my hardest to push through not being able to see my best friend. John was together with my mom, Ashley and they were so happy. I hate seeing my mom in the condition she's in now. When she found out John passed away she broke down. I love you John, and I hope you're resting well. I hope I'll see you again some day..
John was not only my boyfriend but my fiance. We got engaged on April 14, 2021 just a few weeks before he passed away. We have been together for 10 years now. We have a beautiful baby boy together named Bralynn Daniel Adkins. Bralynn is such a daddy's boy and is only 4 years old. It's so hard to explain to 4 year old that his dad is coming back. John is my soulmate, my best friend, father of our child, my heart, my everything, I am so lost without him. We were together until his last breath of life. I love you more than anyone could ever understand and I will never love anyone as much as I love you. I still wait by the front door waiting for you to come back home. I hold your pillow at night just so I can still smell you. I died with you that morning my love and I will be with you again soon baby.
You were my closest guy friend for many years. I loved you like family. You were part of the family I chose. You were an amazing musician, you always believed in me, you were funny. You were my concert buddy, the person that introduced me to my favorite band Deftones, and the person I could share some of the dumbest or deepest stuff with. We always had fun hanging out. Most of my favorite memories from the past have you in them somewhere. I am grateful to have known you. ... May we meet again in another life.
The world lost a great creative light in John Adkins, and I hope that those of us who know him will be inspired to create and write in his memory, as I believe music would be the only suitable tribute, paired with a cold beer and a grilled steak.
We love you brother, you will be missed but never forgotten. Rest in peace.
John was sweet and had a big heart, he will be missed by all those whose life he's touched.
So many memories I would have to write a book. You will be missed by everyone. Take care of the three barking heads until we meet again. Mary Jane
