Johnny was a soft spoken, quiet, well respected man in his family, community, church and places of employment.  Johnny also served his country for two years in the United States Army. We salute you!

Johnny enjoyed a quiet long life together with his soul mate Doris as one and they celebrated love and togetherness on many levels. Together they enjoyed family, friends, church members and community. Johnny and Doris were members of New Home Missionary Baptist Church for many years under the leadership of Pastor D. Anthony Bohles. In 2016 they united with NuVision Missionary Baptist Church, under the leadership of Pastor Rowe were they are still members.
