Thank you Simeon for making us aware of John and the story of his life.
After I've watch the interviews I'm reminded of an old prayer about the Stations of the Cross where at the end it says, " And then I put away my thoughts, of weariness and pain, for I am too ashamed dear Lord to murmur and complain."
May he rest in peace 
Thank you, Miseremini!! Is he not a stout soldier??? I'm so impressed with him. A man in the body of a suffering child. God is glorious in His designs!!!
John's parents must be feeling a massive void, not only from the loss of his person, but there is what I will call the caregiver's empty nest. For the last twenty three years they were responsible for the most intensive care imaginable. It is going to be a very difficult and painful struggle for them to deal with such a loss and with such radical change in their daily living. I'm praying for them too.
A huge consolation they can draw from all of this is the knowledge of the caliber of their son's estimable character. John's was a life well lived. It was not a life wasted. The young man taught the public how to suffer with both charity and heroic fortitude. His mother and father can mourn the loss of a son well pleasing to them.
Like I said, I've watched almost all of the SBSK videos. There is another young man in a similar situation. His syndrome is horrible. But this fellow dresses and talks like a rapper. He is angry and sɛҳuąƖly frustrated. Dreams of getting sex.
Not John Hudson. His greatest aspiration was to use his suffering to help others. God rest him!!!
