Star, Yonna, and Scotty. There are no words that can express the loss of a father, uncle and friend. Johnny was always mindful of others and I believe expression of kindness and help to others will be his legacy. The burdon of grief is left for those who remain. Our wish is that friends and relatives can bring some solice to you in this difficult time.
May God bless you

My deepest sympathies and prayers to Starr, Yonna and Scotty. I knew Johnny from the time I was a little girl and we would go to Aunt Myrt and Uncle Joe's house on Lawne Ct. He always had a kind word for everyone and would do anything for you, all you had to do was ask. He was a friend of my Dad's as well as the rest of the family and he will be truly missed. You must remember that he will always be with you and watch over you and the grandchildren as all Guardian Angels do. I can just hear him, Uncle Joe and Pappa Sechrest talking right now about the plumbing that needs to be fixed in Heaven. They were all major part in all our lives and your Dad will not be forgotten.

Surga Burga,

I only knew Johnny for a little while when I worked for Harbco in the mid 90's. Come to find out he was the Christmas Phantom who left money in a card for me for 3 years!
Always smiling, he was a delight to visit with.

Surga Burga will be missed.
