My condolences to the Chang family. I am so deeply sorry for your loss. May you find comfort from God and his promises for the future.(2 Corinthians 1:3,4; John 6:40)

I met John in 1993 when I started working at Scala in Herndon, VA. From that time on, we were both colleagues and friends. His sense of humor and ever-positive attitude helped countless Scala customers deal with their problems at a much lower stress level, and made the office a fun place to be. And like many people, I was able to remain connected with him over the years through Facebook. I'm so glad to have know him, and my heart goes to Paula and his family.

To John's Dear Ones -- I was shocked and saddened to read John's obituary today. I met John a little over three years ago and we only knew each other briefly. But the homage written in the obit was perfect: we have lost a good, genuine human. At the time I knew John, he was beginning to envision his role in helping car buyers in the realm of technology. I am so happy to see that John pursued his dream, and am not surprised to learn how well he connected with his customers. He was made to help others with his joyful heart and energetic intelligence. I hope Max and Marshmallow have good homes now, and my heart goes out to Paula and John's parents and extended family. Peace to all of you. He sure loved you.  -- Julie Szamocki

Reading about the death of John saddened and stunned me greatly. I had known John for a
couple of years. John was always willing to listen and to help me when I had questions
about technology and/or my Veloster. In fact, I’d promised him a watercolor of his car
and when I saw him a few days ago,  I told him I’d started the sketch and that I hadn’t
forgotten about it. I won’t ever forget you either John......you were one of the absolute
GOOD guys! Rest in Peace,  my friend.

So sorry to hear of John's passing. We meet through mutual friends about 6yr. ago. He was a warm giving, friendly guy and will be missed.

Deepest condolences to his family. Rest in Peace John.

To the family of John Chang,

I meet John about a year ago at Adamson Motors while searching for a Challenger. Thought I didn't buy one last year, John stayed in touch monthly with me via email.  I found John to be professional, knowable, honest and just a down to earth nice guy.  About a month ago, I restarted my search for a Challenger.  John had a huge passion for the Dodge muscle cars and was very excited to help me again.  I was very fortunate to be Johns last customer.  I put money down on a Challenger just hours before he finished his last day of work.  John will always be with my car in spirits.  My sympathies go out to Paula, to his family and all John's friends.

 I met John in the nineties, when he worked at Scala. He spent a year in Oslo, Norway, and we became good friends, and spent a lot of time in the large apartment the company rented.
John was great to work with, as he has always been extremely smart, and always a step ahead in whatever he was interested in, but it was the late nights we spent with friends I remember the most, as we had long talks about all the things we found that we had in common.

After moving from Norway, first to the UK, and later back to the USA, John always staid in touch. After Facebooks arrival, we were in contact many times every week.
John's always witty comments made him a friend of my wife Gro as well, although she never met him in person.

We have shed many a tear this last week, after hearing the heartbreaking news.

As glorious a monument as I have ever seen, is Johns Facebook page, that must have thousands of entries with peoples feelings for him. 

Now, our thoughs go to Paula, and Johns parents. You have our most heartfelt condolances.

--Gunnar and Gro

I met John in November when I purchased my vehicle.  He was wonderful!  I told so many people about my experience with him.  He was professional, witty, honest and was so thorough.  It was a pleasure to work with him and I am saddened by his passing.  May you find comfort during your time of mourning. 

So sad to hear of John's passing.....while I did not know him well (I bought a car from him in October) he was so kind, helpful, and patient with all of my questions and silly anxieties about the process. He continued to provide support to us months after our purchase and always went the extra mile. He told us about his car, dog, and lady friend and so I felt I knew him a little more than as a strictly business relationship, which I guess is why this makes me so sad. It sounds as though he lived a very interesting and fulfilling life. I offer my sincere sympathies to his family and friends. 

I met John in hight school.  He was that geek, nerd everybody loved.  He just had some kind of light spirit that made you gravitate to him.  He was happy go lucky as another one of my Chinese friends would say.  JP as I called him, was kind, thoughtful, gracious, smart, did I say thoughtful, warm, generous, funny, funny, funny, great cook. lover of music, crazy silly, and most of all loved by all who were blessed to call him friend.  His absence will forever leave a hole in my heart.  Rest is peace John.  I'll see you again my friend beside our Father.  To John's family and Paula, I'm so sorry for your loss.  May your memories of John be sweet and happy ones.

I worked with John at Adamson Motors.  I am so sorry for your loss and for the loss of one of the nicest people I have ever had the pleasure of working with.  John was kind, funny, very helpful to all of us and our "devices" that we were always having trouble with.  His stories, our discussions about food and pets will always be fondly remembered.  We will miss John, and I am grateful that I had the pleasure of knowing him.
