Johnny, my dear, sweet, Baby Brother, I Love you so much! Words cannot express how much I miss you every single day. My heart is aching and broken forever. It's hard to believe its already been a month since you left us, you are constantly on my mind every moment of the day.
You were the best little baby Brother anybody could ever hope to have. You were our Sunshine, our laughs, our best friend - our Everything! Nothing will ever be the same without you.
Your wonderful smile and big personality touched everyone you met, and brought happiness, love, & laughter to all.
You will live in our hearts forever, and we will cherish every single memory and moment we had with you.
We will love you Forever!

Oh my God, I'm so heartbroken for Johnny and all of his family. I'm so sorry I missed his visitation too, I just now learned of his passing. Johnny was one of the sweetest people I've ever known and was always smiling. I can remember being young teens and Kevin Witt, Rusty and he, would take Stephanie and I "snipe hunting", he would laugh at us until he was crying. A dear friend, a dear human being who will be so greatly missed. Bud, Mary, Larry, Mickey and Ronnie and of course Cindy, I am so terribly sorry for your loss.
