Our condolences goes out to the Lowder family, I knew Johnny from work many years ago and I had fun memories of our conversations but one in particular comes to mind which many before him had asked previously, he said Kenny, how did you get the nickname Tbird and I explained well Johnny for the first few years after being employed at B&W I would buy a new Thunderbird each year, and another friend at the time HHoward said I see you got another new car he said I'm gonna start calling you Tbird, and that Xmas we pulled names and Henry, pulled my name and he gave me a new cap for Xmas with the name Tbird embroiled on it matching my car color and the rest was history, and everyone at work start calling me Tbird and Johnny, with that big smile he had he shook my hand and said ok Mr.Tbird, and I remember that like it was yesterday, so rest in peace Mr. Johnny...Kenneth & Gayle.

Our counsel is that you warn the freeloaders to get a move on. Gently encourage the stragglers, and reach out for the exhausted, pulling them to their feet. Be patient with each person, attentive to individual needs” (1 Thessalonians 5:14, The Message).
This verse reminds me so much of Johnny: he loved God, he loved his Family, he just LOVED.
To the Family, may God comfort and give you peace during these difficult times. Let us all remember that smile and the love he shared with all of us.
We the Jones Family, are praying for Johnny's Family and thank God for blessing us to have known him.
