Little brother Johnny, you will be greatly missed by those whom love you.
Growing up I will cherish the fond memories we shared as children. The time you got your white pants dirty before church because you rode the dirt bike hitting the tree stump. Or the time you stuck the curtain rod in the light socket and about electrocuted yourself...God was definitely watching over you then and as he did everyday forward.
I miss and love you little brother. May you rest in peace.

I will never forget the times when we would visit your house as a kid; all the halloween parties and holidays. I vividly remember that you would always take the time to interact with us and joke around with us. The memories I have with uncle Johnny are nothing but pleasant, inviting, and warm. We will take comfort in knowing you at peace.
Love always.

I'm missing you so much my precious brother. I wish I could see you again in this lifetime but I know I will see you again in Paradise. To be absent from the body is to be present with the LORD. Remember little brother how we loved to watch Jesus movies? lol, that's what we called them, cartoons early Saturday morning, stuffing food we hated down the cooler, burning plastic bread bags on the heater, many more memories I am so fond of and took for granted.
I love you so much and I'm so sorry for everything that I may have done or said to ever hurt you and never had the chance to apologize for, you are so loved by your sister Theresa always and forever. You will live on in my heart and memories, until I see you again my little brother. My heart is breaking for the love I have for you cannot be contained. I love you forever
