John Vernon Nagle
John Vernon Nagle died on April 29, 2007. Born October 4, 1980, he was the son of John Stephen Nagle and Janet Louise Higgs Nagle and the brother of Julie Ann Nagle Greene.
John had a special place in everyone's heart was a joy to his family and wise beyond his years. He was knowledgeable in many aspects of the entertainment industry, always providing information on the latest films, music and technology associated with the industry. He was a writer of poetry and was diligently working to produce the ultimate screen play. We looked to John for his expert opinions and were always amazed at insight into a world he found at his finger tip. His enthusiasm for life was never tempered by what many saw as a devastating disability.
John contributed twenty years of his life to promoting the worthy goal of the Muscular Dystrophy Association, " finding a cure". His talent and gusto were enlisted each of those twenty years for the "Fair". This event held each year at the Farmer's Market in Charlotte Hall, Maryland has raised more than $100,000 for MDA.
Days before John's death, he told his mother to continue with the "Fair". He said, "do it as long as you can". It was his wish and it shall continue, hoping the "cure" will come soon for others with this disease.
