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...

In my opinion, there is no better facility in Virginia than Altmeyer Funeral Homes. Not only was Chris Sisler there to hold my hand every step of the way, his family members were holding the door on the day of the funeral to help and encourage me. I will never forget their grace. He led me and my family through the process as a personal friend and neighbor, and as the ultimate professional.
