No one saw it coming.
John Haney was a happy kid with a smile for miles. Loved by many, he was a leader on the high school and college football team, but fighting an inner battle alone. The thing I want you to know about john is he was kind and compassionate. Never knew a stranger, says John s mom, Beth Haney.
