"My candle burns at both ends
It will not last the night;
But ah, my foes, and oh, my friends -
It gives a lovely light."
Edna St, Vincent Millay
John Weston Marlatt

John's intelligence, sense of humor, and abundant love for his family will be greatly missed but never forgotten.

Hey there,
I just wanted to stop by and say hello. I miss you very much. I'm graduating from high school in exactly a month... I wish you cpuld be there to watch me get my diploma. My grades are pretty good right now. I ended last semester with a 3.8 gpa which dad and Grammie say may be the highest on this side of the family. But I'm not going to college right away. I'm moving to Ireland for 3 months in September to do a gap year programs and I'll be sure to take you with me. Donegal is supposed to be beautiful. I love you so much. Always and forever. See you soon.
miss you papa-san. This morning while pouring a bowl of cereal heard the words
"over here" over my shoulder while Elise sat silent on the couch. Thinking of hiking the homestead trail today, or maybe a trip to Estes. Another beautiful day in Colorado....
I used come to your house and go into the bathroom and eat the candy corn that sat by the sink. And when I came out you would say I think I think I think and tickle me with your spider hand. I miss that so much and I miss you.

Hey Mr. Grampa,
It's been a while... I've been thinking of you lately, I just can't seem to get you out of my head. I miss you so much. Weird how this is online right? Well, I've been trying to get a hold of God so I can contact you. I always leave a message when he doesn't answer. I hope you're having a fun time up there
, or wherever you are. I'll never forget our memories Mr. Grampa. I can't. I love you so much, I'll see you again. I promise.
Ella
P.S. I hope you have an eternity of Candy Corns! Yummy!

Kevin and Ethan- so sorry for your loss. I had no idea until I happened upon this website. Enjoyed many visits with you guys when we were little. Your Dad used to make me laugh so hard I would pee my pants. Remind you of anything,Kev? Throw any rocks at any cars lately? Thinking of you.

I really miss you Big Bro. Although we were geographically apart much of our adult lives my thoughts were with you. I always enjoyed our telephone calls when we would talk about our childhood years, high school memories, sports, our kids and even the shared experiences we had dealing with the horrible illness that took you from us all too soon. You were a great brother and I will always remember how we ended each phone call -- "I love you Bobert, I love you Johnson"

Kevin and Ethan...we've been thinking about you a lot and send our thoughts and prayers to you. I can only imagine the stories that Grandma, Pop-Pop and Uncle John are sharing! Take care and know that your Dad will always be looking out for you.
