I am fortunate to say that John Carcutt was one of my very best friends. We spoke each week (or close to it) for over 10 years as co-hosts of a popular podcast in our industry of SEO at which time we always caught up and supported each other. We would also connect outside of the podcast whenever we wanted to bounce ideas off each other on the latest Internet marketing tactics or a new business idea.

John and I never failed to laugh... a lot! John's sense of humor was clever and always friendly. No matter how overboard our teasing got, I could always hear the caring in his voice and it was obvious we both felt good about every minute we spent talking together.

All-in-all, I can't imagine life without being able to reach out and have a conversation with John. To say that I miss him already is an understatement of the highest level.

John has only been gone for a few days, so, I expect I will revisit this memorial and add more thoughts and feelings in the near future. Heaven knows there are more feelings and words than I can sort out at this point.

To John's wife, Annie, son's Jordan and Andrew, I extend the deepest condolences for your sudden loss of such a good, loving husband and father. His voice took on an edge of such pride and love when he spoke of you. I'm so sorry he left you so soon. The greatest of hugs, Ross
