John was such a caring and calm man. Although he was soft spoken he was resolute in his beliefs and advice to us as we were growing up. He brought a sense of peace and stability into our lives. I have always appreciated how he took time to find interest in everything we did while we were growing up and I always enjoyed the stories he shared with us. No one could ask for better neighbors than John and Peggy McIlvain. They always watched out for me and my family and I think they knew our family did the same for them. John was totally devoted to his wife, children, grandchildren and God. My prayers are with you Bud, Justin, Chelsea, Gabby and Rex. If you need me I am here.

I didn't know John well but recall meeting him when he would come to Andrea's work to pick up Gabby. What I know about John is that he was loving and giving, to his family and to his community. My thoughts and prayers are for his son and grandchildren during this difficult time.

We did not know Peggy and John real well. We bought their house in Hurst from them when we moved here from Colorado. They impressed us as very good people with deep family ties. They were always good to us and our Mom.

I remember greeting John every morning as he and Peggy picked up Gabby from the CellStar parking lot. What a kind sweet man. He raised a beatiful warm daughter and they will all be missed greatly.

I was so very shocked when I heard the news about John, Peggy and Andrea. John and Peggy were at Lakeside Baptist, Dallas where John was Minister of Education when I was a member there in the mid-70s. Though it was a long time ago, I remember him as a quiet, unassuming person. May God give strength to family during this time of loss.
