This memorial website was created in the memory of our beloved son, John Coggins, III who was born in Atlanta, Georgia on March 08, 1988 and passed away on October 24, 2005 at the age of 17...WE will remember him forever+ with your help.. PLEASE light a candle on this website...Please share your stories and memories of John on this memorial web page.....You can also add videos, pictures or audio recordings of John to this website.. We have established the John Coggins III Foundation...., JKC III... in an effort to help deserving teenagers with drug awareness issues. We want all to know that it may be just one pill that can kill you and affect 100's or 1000's of others lives.. The foundation would like to help others, we feel, would benefit from John's life experiences. It is our life's purpose to work with teenagers that have the willingness to be open and honest enough to work on themselves as much as John did.. We traveled a hard path w/ John, we never gave up. John knew more about himself than others twice his age.. He had it figured out, finally. With God's blessing, perhaps John's passing will save others. Thank you again for being here and reading this message.. We welcome feedback and would appreciate you lighting a Candle. Vicki and i are extremely committed to John's Foundation.. There is lot of funtofind on this site.. Take your time and scroll thru the various links etc.. add some pictures and videos or comments if you like..

Much love, Kim and Vicki. Remember !! Always...

His an unfinished symphony, the notes of his 17 years etched in my heart,
a place where I return again and again and again to hear his sweet refrain.
He lived life laughing and dared to dream ...

We believe John would like to say he had a unique ability to bring people together. He had many friends from many areas.. He was a kind, loving and accepting person. He showed others how to Live Life every day; He loved the moment.. He cherished his friendships. He made others laugh.. He was willing to openingly offer his life experiences to others . He truely believed one should DANCE LIKE THERE IS NOBODY WATCHING... ... Be oneself without fear of judgement .. through John's hard work he had learned to share ones strengths and weaknesses openly and honestly so that others felt at ease around him.. Showing that you can be be your real self. Vicki and I created the JKC III Foundation, to serve teenagers.. We plan on it to be a lasting memorial to our child.. He had worked very hard, he had life mostly figured out. John should be here today.. and IS in many ways.. His accomplishments and hard work will be a guiding light in the years to come for many teenagers wiling to address their weaknesses and learn to turn them into strengths..
