TODAY IS MY BIRTHDAY YOU PASSED AWAY JUST A FEW HOURS BEFORE CAN'T BELIEVE IT'S BEEN 11 YEARS! THANKS FOR THE GREAT FRIENDSHIP . MOM PASSED AWAY DEC 26TH AND SHE LOVED YOUR MUSIC ALSO ..

You went home today Johnny. Oh how I miss my silly funny friend who always had my back! I remember the day and where I was when I got the call. Although I had been waiting for it I was still not prepared. Now Terry is there with you and I am sure you are jamming away with the guys. You were a special man Johnny and the world lost a good one!

I reeber in the early 80's living in LA and a member of a Elvis fan group and John would could to some of the meetings and get toghers he was at that time would working at Hughes Aircraft and doing small clubs around the area and I went to a show and he was great and after the show we met and talked. Sould the TCB necklace and guitars given to by Elvis and we became friends and I remember when he got married he was so happy. We lost touch after I moved out of the area but I always will...

John Wilkinson was an awesome rhythm guitarist. My condolences still for his family. In concert saw John Wilkinson play many times. I know he is up there playing for Elvis. GOD BLESS.

I worked for John and Terry, after they moved into John's childhood home in Spfld., Mo. His father loved gardening and the landscaping had been neglected for a very long time. It was a pleasure working for them. There were so very nice to me. when I went to John's ofc (in his house) I saw a pic of he and Elvis. I had no idea he had been a member of TCB. He was just a nice, humble human being. So sorry to hear of his passing.

STILL MISSING YOU AND YOUR MUSIC.

I know you are playing music in heaven with Elvis Presley. I saw you many times in concert. GOD BLESS. Ramonda Brady.

It was my honor not only to be John's manager in his final years but also have him as my dear friend. There were times when John was my rock and I will forever love him for being there for me. Hope you boys are enjoying Heaven. You and Elvis deserve it.

I have great memories seeing John Wilkerson playing at Elvis's concerts. I know he is up there with Elvis. GOD BLESS. RIP.
