Margie, Tyrone, Mr and Mrs. Borba, Joe, Brenda and family:
John was one of the kindest, most considerate young men that I have had the privilege of knowing. We first met when I began working with the Catholic Youth Group along with Brother Guy. I have known John for almost 30 years and he has remained a true and honest friend to me and I am sure to all who knew him. I will miss him very much.

I would like to send my heartfelt sympathy to the whole Borba family. John and I became friends in high school and have kept in touch over the years. I will miss his big smile, his friendly face and his always positive and upbeat demeanor. John will be missed by many but I know that the family will miss him always. Tyrone, you seem to have a lot of the same qualities as your dad and that is something you will have forever. It is a great way to keep his spirit and his love alive. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.
