I watched as this man inparted wisdom into so many lives. He went to bat for people when others gave up.

He spoke life into me from his own life experience and taught me how to be a man of God.

Johnnie & Edna would talk about Jesus as if he was sitting at the table having breakfast with them. Which would encouraged anyone to get to know Him in the same way.

Whether it was through a Sunday school lesson or preached word, or just being the kind of person they needed in their lives at that particular time Dad would bless anyone that came his way.

Dad I'll miss you, but never forget you. God has blessed the family with giving us Johnnie Brown for 81 years.
