Comments:My Sweet Johnith,
There is not yet a day that passes that something doesn't
bring you to my mind (sometimes I wonder if there ever will
be.) In the more than 5000 days we shared of our lives,
there are millions of memories for me to relive and most of
them for me to cherish. Forever 3-D pictures, complete
with atmosphere and feelings that make them so real; that
keep you so alive. How priviledged I feel to carry such a
precious legacy, my friend, my love, my companion.

I wish you could know how very greatful I am that you got
that video camera for me to save some of the memories in a
more tangible form and for the tapes that bring your voice,
your music, your humor, and your laugh to my ears again.
Thank you for all we shared (and continue to in my quiet
moments of reflection)


Tomorrow, (your birthday), the kids and I will talk about
and remember all the ones we spent with you and sorrow over
the ones we can't. We miss you so much. You are forever
young, real and still crazy in our hearts! Happy Birthday,
Buddy!
I love you...

Comments:Nothing has changed. JD is still an integral part of our
community, our family. Do we ever frantically backspace
without laughing in memory? Everyone else backranks, we
bockrank. Silly things.

How we wish we had recorded that infectious laugh.

It's not over. There is no end to life. We will meet
again.

But, God .. we miss him.

Comments:Hi, i didnt know John in real life, but only knew him
through his mmud persona. Jehan was the name he used on
kewl.net. He was a great player and always had a lot to
contribute. May his soul rest in peace and all of us who
knew him from kewl.net send our prayers and love.

rest in peace Jehan, you were a hell of a Missionary and a
great person.

Comments: John Couch was my little brother. He wasn't so little any more but I still wanted to protect him from anyone who I thought would hurt him. I worried about who he was with and what he was doing. I gave him a hard time a lot because I loved him so much. I was and am also very proud of his talent and most of all his heart.
All of your messages testify to his love for others. But if he were here he'd want you to know where that love came from.
I was surprised one day to find John's Bible in his car glove box. He didn't talk about religion. He wasn't a "religious" person. But he knew Jesus in a very personal way. He knew he was loved by God so much that He sent His Son to die for him. It was this love of Christ that shown through in John. He would not condemn anyone for their failures or weakness. He would not put anyone in an untouchable category. He would only say through his actions that "you are loved and you are special".
I know John would say to you "Please accept God's love for you. Christ's sacrifice was for you and if you will just acknowladge Him as Lord you will join Him and me in the arms of our Savior."
I'm sure John would have a good joke to tell now to make you laugh. That was just his way and it will be missed. But please remember that the love and laughter he gave to us was God's gift to John. But now John is experiencing God's greatest gift. Eternal life with Him.
I found John's Furby and when I picked it up it said "Me love you" and a big "Kiss..". Of course that made me cry. But then I tickled his belly and it said "PartY!!!" and the tears faded into laughter.
That is what I'd like to say to John. I love you and enjoy the greatest party ever-Heaven!
John's big sister,
D'Bee

but JD was my friend and even when I was stupid he was nice
to me. He would tell me always, always dont use the mouse,
use the keyboard. He was my friend and I will always use
the keyboard from now on. He was very smart and nice and
he was my friend.

Comments:Memories so golden

The hurt that I am feeling
Is one that will last
There is someone I love
Who now lives in the past

It just gets easier
The hurt never goes
The pain's still there
And the tears still flow

I wish my love could bring you back
Back to the place where you belong
We can't come to terms with the
fact that you're gone

My memories are golden
They're as strong as can be
They are so special
They keep you close to me

There is some comfort
For you're here everyday
To love and to Cherish
In our own special Way

~~~~

The love will never be taken from my heart and the memories
they cannot steal.. I cry for the loss of your mortal
life, but I smile more for the joy and happiness you brought
in the time you spent here. Forever locked in memories, you
may be gone, but never will you be forgotten.

Comments:What is truely the measure of a man's life?
It can not be counted in money, or material things, but
rather in the friends he had and the joy he brought to those
around him.

JD distributted happiness everywhere he went, in his own way
reminding us that something was only as serious as you
allowed it to be. Through out the years he was a constant
fixture in the Silent-Runinng user list. And while I
traveled the world away from home he assisted my sister
complete her education.

JD make a mark on this world and it is not the words we use
to fill these pages, but the memories we carry in our hearts
that truly honor his memory. I for one carry many memories.

Rough winds, that moanest loud
Grief too sad for song;
Wild wind when sullen cloud
Knells all night long;
Sad storm, whose tears are in vain,
Bare woods, whose branches strain,
Deep caves and dreary main--
Wail for the world's wrong

Comments:...So live, that when thy summons comes to join/
The innumerable caravan, which moves/
To that mysterious realm, where each shall take/
His chamber in the silent halls of death,/
Thou go not, like the quarry-slave at night,/
Scourged to his dungeon, but, sustained and soothed/
By an unfaltering trust, approach thy grave/
Like one who wraps the drapery of his couch/
About him, and lies down to pleasant dreams.(Thanatopsis,

Comments:John’s position at work put him in an adversarial position
with some of his fellow employees, just as mine often does
at Jaguar. For that reason a lot of his fellow employees
never got to see the giving, loving and very humorous side
of him that I did. Whether in person or on line he was
always the master punster. In both dimensions we would
spend time torturing the women in close proximity with
PUNishing humor. When we started getting slapped in the
arm, we knew we were at our peak for the day. John was
always there offering help to anyone that asked and to many
that didn’t. I will miss him.
--- { Patience and timing.. everything comes when it must
come. A life cannot be rushed, cannot be worked on a
schedule as so many people want it to be. We must accept
what comes to us at a given time, and not ask for more. But
life is endless, so we never really die; we were never
really born. There is no end. Humans have many dimensions.
But time is not as we see time, but rather in lessons that
are learned.)----

Comments:When we had our car accident last year, JD came to pick us
up from the emergency room in his little blue Saturn
sedan. He had Summer with him; under the best of
circumstances, four adults in that car would be a tight
squeeze :) Of course, we were both on crutches, with limbs
that didn't quite bend .. it was like a Three Stooges
routine in the parking lot as we tried to get all of us,
and the crutches into that car! Two or three of us would
get in, we'd assess the situation .. everyone back out ..
rearrange .. back in .. back out ... hehe .. that was so
funny!

He was really the best friend you could ever hope to have
after an accident. He picked up our prescriptions, went to
the grocery store for us, made sure that I had lunch at
work when I went back but Wil was still out. Just a couple
of weeks ago, I had one of those annoying little throat
tickling coughs you get with a summer cold, and he came to
my desk with cough drops.

I wish we'd been able to return the favor and pick him up
at the hospital then laugh all the way home.

That would have been way cool.

Somehow, I think you know. Sleep tight, sweet prince.. you

when I saw a memorial message to him on MudCentral's

To his family and friends, I am deeply saddened by your
loss, and my prayers are with you. Truly, he must have been
a wonderful person. I wish I had known him.

Thank you for sharing your memories and thoughts of him.

My family's prayers will be with you during this time of
deep sorrow. I pray that God comforts you through this
trial and that he guide you to peace. I strongly believe
that we will all meet again. John was a great entertainer,
I used to go watch him perform with Marlow at the
Ponderosa. He enoyed everything he set his eyes on,
including the motorcycle he had recently purchased. He will
be missed.

Comments:I have been blessed to have crossed paths with John in this
life, His special way of breaking the ice, his Little
Rascal comedy, his one liners with a drum rim shot sound
effect behind the punch line, was one of our staples of
joke telling we would send back and forth, our Chinese
proverbs, our high sign we greeted each other with, the
alarm noise we would make when we saw each other.The list
goes on and on. All the little things that made him special
to me. These things are parts of me he takes with him..
I will dearly miss you John Couch.
My Brother...Until we meet again keep your hands off

online community at Silent-Running, but I know that he was
a good, caring individual with a warm sense of humour who
was always there to lend a hand. For the opportunity to
have known the man even a little bit, I am grateful, and
rejoice in those memories that will forever remain a part
of us all.
John, we will not forget you.

JDC, a member of kewl.net was killed Monday evening
(6/26/00) as a result of a tragic motorcycle accident. A
memorial page for John has been setup at http://www.silent-

messages from those who knew him which will be put into a
scrap book for his family.

It saddens me when I switch an account to the HONORARY

in peace....

will be missed by myself and a great many others. I
remember you helped me several times, in mud, and I
appreciated that. Although I am greatly saddened and
shocked right now, I know you are in a far greater place
than here.
Any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in
Mankind; and therefore never send to know for whom the bell
tolls, it tolls for thee. -john donne

Comments: JD, you were a true friend. When I was new to Silent
Running, you were always there to help me advance my
character, help me reclaim my gear.
Always you were patient with new players..offering your
initimitable humor and your ability to play the straight guy
when the situation called for it..
As a tribute to you, I would like to help bring Jehan to
lvl 25, a goal that you expressed to a few of your fellow
Mudders..
I raise a toast to you Mr John David Couch! You have
touched countless lives and anyone who had gotten to know
you feels an empty part of themselves..
God bless you JD!

As a mudder and as a fellow brother of the bike... i send

And hope everyone can climb above this terrible sadness...
know that he is riding free now... free as a bird.. in a
place far better then here...

Comments:The waves will still reach the shore. The heavens will
still stubbornly and slowly expand. Morning will come, and
I will still sleepily combat the encroaching daylight.

But there will never be another you.

Check your inventory, my friend. I suspect you will find a
new key, and a new lock that it fits. We would walk
through the Gates of Hell with you, but now that you are
standing at the Gates of Heaven, we cannot follow. Only
for a short while, JD.. that is all. Gear us up for the
higher levels; we'll be along soon.

Until then, my friend .. to life!

You are forever loved.
