John Fontaine Jr.

John Fontaine, Jr. died instantly at age 16 when his friend, who had been drinking, lost control of the car and hit a tree. With his loveable, jovial demeanor and effortless smile, John proved himself the consummate friend as he brought goodness and joy into the lives of others. His favorite reaction from people was laughter. To each and every friend he gave a special part of himself, and he knew how to keep them up and how to keep them smiling. John was a true showman and enjoyed enchanting people in a theatre full of young audiences. “I may not have lived a long life, but I lived a good life…and friendship is the most important thing there is.” These words from the play Charlotte’s Web, spoken by him on the last day of his life, appropriately and profoundly reflect the spirit and the heart of John Fontaine, Jr.
