That is very sad. I heard that he was a very nice man. I'm praying for his loved ones... I wonder if his death was yet another murder in Perry County.

[carmen]

how was he found? was this story on the local news?

[True]

Lmao at very nice man!! He was a dope dealer, woman beater and a theif. Look him up. John Jeffrey Turner. In jail all his life.

[pancho gracious]

if he was a dope dealer, woman beater and a theif,then he either sold dope to the wrong guy, beat up some dudes wife that found out about it or someone caught him stealing their stuff and put his lights out

[please]

God bless this man. He did not deserve this. This is sad. He had a kind heart.

I think that you have him confused with someone else, gossip spreader. I hadn't ever heard anything about him dealing dope, beating women and stealing.

[RIPjjt]

RIP, John. I am so sorry that this happened, whatever it was. God bless you.

Hey TRUE, sounds like you know quite alot about him, wonder why?If all that is what he was you should have had the guts, to say that to him while he was alive but sounds like you are somebodys bitch...what you don't know is that man could have been anything he wanted to,he was so accomplished at carpentry and welding that some of the most prominent people in this town, waited for him to design and build their homes..whats your talent,bet your knees are sore.. he was at location where he was found,because he was physically,the closest to his son,,because even at his lowest,he could see where his family was...he was not a dealer.. he was a user..with a problem..but he had more heart than your bitch ass ..if anyone had a reason to make judgements on him,,it would be me..I forgave him along time ago.so who the fuck are you to hide and write shit ..hey if you need to insult my family anymore..I,m the only one on you need to speak with.don't.waste your time hiding behind a pussy screen name.

[to Kimberly]

I do not know you or any of your family, but I would like to thank you for speaking out. Your statement above is one of the best I have ever heard. All these people dying because of drugs do have lives and families. They are not trash, they are people, too. Most of them have very big hearts and would give a total stranger their last penny. I hope that this man knows that you did forgive him. I think it would mean the world to him. I wish you and your family all the best.

[Not a Hater]

Why are people are so quick to downgrade someone. I guarantee if these same people where place in the same situation they would sing a different tune. The dealers are the grandma and grandpas who sell there prescriptions. After that its users who are trying to support a habit. Which they wouldnt have if the medicene wasnt over prescribed by doctors who look the other way.

[Old friend]

Kim, JJ loved you Hunter and Ever, yes he struggled with problems, but who of us have a perfect life? In one way or anther each of us have issues, some hide it better than others. I'm sorry that you and your family are going through this, keep being strong like you have for all of these years. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

[PLEASE]

No, Inspector Gadget...I never did a drug deal but I do have a heart. Maybe if that was your mother that was found dead under the bridge, you might decide to have one yourself...maybe. You may want to remember "Don't judge, lest ye be judged." Everyone's life is precious to him, just as this man's was. You seem to be very cruel but yet I will give you the benefit of a doubt because I don't want to judge anyone. God will be your judge in the end, not me.

[friend]

I wish that I had brought John home with me. Maybe this wouldn't have happened. RIP my friend. I am so, so sorry :(

[to wife]

I lost my husband 2weeks ago ppl are sad .they dont know what we go threw!!!so sorr

[wanna no why]

Why couldn't some of John's family let him stay with them? I don't understand this. Was he living under the bridge or was he just killed under the bridge or what? Does anyone know? This is just too sad! I wonder if he even knew that the house burnt?

[DONNA PRATT]

I knew Jeff for a long tHe was always good and respectable to me, I will miss him. I will PRAY for his family. May GOD have mercy on him and bless his family. Does anyone know where Coy is?

[Wondering]

Coy died a few years ago too.

[please do tell]

If anyone knows what happened to this man, please report it. It would be ashamed for him to die in vain. If you know of any enemies or anything, report it. I don't know how he died, but if someone killed him, the community needs to help bring them to justice.

[praying]

praying for that beautiful family
