October 27, 2017 at 8:44 amFor those who know Johnny, you will understand the reference “he was a gentle giant with a loud opinion” 🙂 Johnny loved a good debate, and was very good at it! He could drive you crazy with it. But he also had a huge heart with a massive and loyal love for his family and friends. Johnny would go to great lengths to make sure he could carry on a conversation with you that you both would enjoy. He used watch Hannah Montana on the Disney channel when his daughter was little so he would have something to talk to her about when he called her every week. What grown man does that? Johnny did. We all know how hard it can be to converse with a kid on the phone, but he made sure she would look forward to those calls with her daddy. That was just one of many, many things he did for her. He adored Faye. Johnny loved his mother. They talked every single day. They would text back and forth while watching their favorite shows. She was truly his best friend. Mom loved her John Boy unconditionally. He loved his siblings. He could always talk to his siblings whether it was about music, cars, how to eat healthier or sharing parental values. He kept most of his childhood friends close throughout their adult lives and welcomed new friends. He had so many friends in Alabama who truly loved him, more than he knew. More than we knew. Johnny will be greatly missed by all of us. Gone far too soon. I love you like crazy Johnny. Fly high with the angels.

November 8, 2017 at 1:32 pmI had the fortunate pleasure of meeting John in September 2007 when he went to work for our Company. Over the last ten years I got to know him quite well on a professional level. He was the type of person who excelled in the mind numbing government paperwork world. John contributed daily to our company and left a void that will be hard to fill in the future. We were about the same age so our discussions revolved around his passion for music, cars and animals. I will miss those conversations and his warm giving heart. I considered him a friend and more than just a co-worker. I’m sure he’s at Peace now but will be missed considerably.
