John M. Runkle

West Point, 2009

Be Thou At Peace

Posted by 2LT Dave Lee on May 31, 2011:

John was an incredible leader and an all-around awesome guy. I was in E4 with him at West Point, though a class behind him. I never remember him ever saying an ill word about anyone (quite an accomplishment in the cynical atmosphere of USMA). John was also always willing to help others where he could. During his cow year, he brought his car up (woops) and lent it to me and some friends for our Yearling Winter Weekend. Needless to say, it was obvious that John cared about others, and it was important for him to contribute where he could.

You will be missed brother. Be thou at peace.
