Susan, John, Sara, Ava and JJ. You all are his world and he loved you to the moon and back. Do not stop being what JJ loved about all of you. I heard many stories and each of them was told with so much love. He was such a big kid and he loved the yearly Disney trips. He loved his church and the mission trips. More than anything, JJ loved his family first. I will miss you Buddy. Rest in Heavenly Peace my Friend.

It is with fond memories that I recall JJ bringing me on as an Auxiliary Deputy 9 years ago. I will remember his smile, laugh and encouraging word every time our paths crossed at the VBSO. A role model for all LEO's, JJ brought his "A" game to work every day.

What our families say...

Altmeyer was incredible in their reliability and conscientious effort to detail. I personally worked from beginning to end with Joseph Limback. What an absolute blessing that was. From the first meeting we had a very easy communication path because Joseph took complete control to oversee our families welfare. Our family couldn’t have asked for better care and comfort of our love one.
