RIP John "yellowenzo123"

She's a great girl, I just spoke with him a couple weeks ago and he was pretty excited about them getting married next year in Hawaii. I was supposed to see him next week as well when he came back to Chicago. Had a couple good times with him at the Ivy as well, wished to share a few more as I'll be back in LA in early September as well (was going to be there for his birthday as well). One of the funniest moments at the Ivy was when we were fairly well off on drinks and went there to get some drunk food, I had called up my friend who lives in Hollywood to meet us there. My friend is just getting by and has an early 90s Nissan, and we pull up to the Ivy in John's Bentley Azure which was of course was parked right in front of the restaurant then behind him was my buddy in his car. John tells the valet he's with us and they leave this beat-up early 90s Nissan in front as well..lol..was an amusing sight.

 

Godspeed John, requiescat in pace.

 

Everyone has strengths and "development opportunities," but to lose a car guy (new stuff, old stuff, odd stuff) who took the time is a shame. RIP.

My condolence to his family & friends

 

I met him in person only very briefly, but had quite a few PM exchanges with him via this board. All considered, he was a very cool cat, and as these things sometimes go.. everything was amplified.

He definitely knew his sh*t, and everyone here is richer for having spent any time with him at all.

 

John was the real deal people I have stories that you wouldn't believe. I have known him for about 3 years now had dinner with his father, Chrissy and many of his friends that you would never think would be his friends. He turned me on to my now favorite Resturant in NYC il postino on 49th and 1st. Would always pic up the tab would never let anyone pick up the tab. Bottles of crystall was his thing you would think he owned the company if you hung out with him. He was a one of a kind guy whenever he would come to NY which was once a month we would have the best time he loved broadway shows. One time he took my wife and I to see Le Mis he said he has seen it 12 times and it never got old. He shows up I a Hawaiian shirt and flip flops with a black eye to boot after passing out hittting his eye on the sink. At the end of the show I look over and see him balling his eyes out screaming bravo!! He was the only person standing up mind you. It was hysterical, he lived life to the fullest and he didn't care if you were poor or rich he was a true soul a lost soul to some exstent but he was real. He shipped his DTM to my house at 2am in the morning just so he could go on a run with us one time that car was crazy fast destroyed every car it went up against that day. He drove well not stupid and not wreckless he just always had fun. He wanted people to expieriance what he had always lending his cars out the Dtm was at my house for a week and he only flew in for the weekend I want you all to know that that was the first time I had met him...LOL dude didn't even know me and he shipped a half a million dollar car to my house.

I have many storys of him as I am sure eric Lv has and many others do here. John my friend my you rest in peace you deffinatly have burned great times in my head that will last forever and you will never be forgotten.

Love and respect always

John was a great guy. I met him a few years back and he has been nothing but a great friend to me. He is beyond generous and loved to share his wealth and passion with everyone. He will be missed.
RIP John

 

Very sad, R.I.P John

 

John we will surely miss you. Thank you for all the good times. RIP.

For those that are interested, we are doing a short drive in his honor after VCR this Sunday.

RIP John

 

I never met him but he seemed like a very generous guy that wanted to share his passion for cars with everyone. I still look through his posts from time to time - he came across as a really energetic guy that always lived his life to the fullest. I saw his Enzo when it was in The Wynn (before he owned it) and then he started posting here. I thought it was funny; when I saw the Enzo in the showroom I would have never imagined that I would be talking to the owner a couple of months later but there you go.

I still can't believe the news - my thoughts and prayers are with his fiancee and two children. He was a good guy and he will be missed.

RIP John

 

Very sad news, i remember his posts on here. RIP

 

RIP,

Anyone that buys a DTM has a great taste in cars!

I personally know two people who have overdosed, all tragic circumstances and all cocaine.

 

I’m really shocked and saddened to hear this. I was just thinking about John before the weekend. I was thinking about how much I enjoyed (and missed) his posts because he so clearly lived life to the fullest.

RIP John – gone far far too early, but you definitely will not be forgotten. Thoughts and prayers for his family.

 

RIP John.

 

Prayers out to the family. Way too young.

 

R.I.P.

 

I give thanks for having the chance to meet John. He was a man of strong character, and played a big role of inspiration for me.

My first time around him, I end up in the Maybach and his Enzo...

RIP, you hate to hear things like this.

 

RIP....

My prayers go out to all his family and friends.

 

RIP

 

Sad to hear this.

John was a great person who received us in the USA 2 years ago. As kind as he was he invited me and my brother to VCR. We went with the 3 supercars to VCR and had a great time!

4 Months later he went to Europe and went over to Amsterdam where we met him again. A real gentlemen and again we had a great day!

His sons lost a great father.

Rest in Peace John!

Wow, that sucks. I remember this guy - he used to have a profile pic of himself with like a whole bunch of cars and a helicopter, right? He had some really funny posts, too. What a shame. I lost my best friend to drugs back on 3/27/05. He'd just turned 35. Really great guy, very privileged and anything that was his was yours as well.

RIP to John, prayers are with you and your family. You seemed like someone I would have gotten along with (and I rarely say that).

When I think of John, I think of that picture that you are thinking of. It's him along with his helicopter, Maybach, Smart, and something else. I've searched countless times to find it, but cannot seem to retrieve it. Is anyone familiar with this picture we are thinking of? Maybe someone will find it and post it.

RIP John.
