Not sure what to say?

Johnny always had a great attitude.Whether it was in the weight room,the practice field or during a game his demeanor didn't change.He always remained positive, gave it his all and above all else, supported his teammates.Those are great qualities to have in all walks of life.

I just want to say that I am so grateful to have had you for as long as I did. I got to be your mother. Honey I have missed you every single day since the day you died. But I am just now finding a little peace that you are at peace in the arms of Jesus. I cannot wait to see you again. You have so many friends and family up there with you. And that comforts me some.
Will always miss you.
Love you more.

Johnny had many great qualities but the thing that stood out most was his smile.Regardless of how his day was going he always would greet you pleasantly and with his trademark huge smile.I will always remember that smile! Coach Clark

I remember Johnny as a young football player who gave all he had to make the team better.Though not the most gifted physically,he had the heart of a lion and played like a true champion.His toughness was undeniable. You will be in my heart forever.
With deepest sympathy,
Merle Clark
