Dad I miss you and think about you daily I´m currently 25 with two kids and married to my highschool sweetheart I see you in myself all the time I miss your voice I can´t help but wonder what our relationship would be like if you were here today and not having a relationship with my mother and not being able to have one with you makes life hard sometimes they say it gets easier but that´s not true you just learn to keep living because you have to apart of me is always with you and apart of you is with me I show my kids pictures of you every year and we eat kfc every year on the day you died because that´s the last meal we had together and your favorite place to eat I replay our last days together all the time words could never describe the pain of losing someone who is so close to you I never knew life without you until I had to learn how to nothing can prepare you for that lesson that I feel like I still haven´t learned you are truly missed dad my daughter looks just like me which means she also looks like you I never imagined having kids and seeing my dad in them I was so little when you passed I didn´t imagine all the steps in my life you would miss like having children getting married and buying a home I wanted you there in all the biggest moments in my life I talk to you all the time and I will always do it I truly believe you hear me your not gone you live on through a lot of people everytime I hear the Zac brown band I think of you iykyk

I knew Johnny for 36 years he was a childhood friend(we lived across the street from one another)and the father of our two children Heather and John Workman. We have been down many rocky roads but we have had good times too many years has gone by that I took it for granted knowing that you would be there if anything would happen that our children needed you and I'm so glad that we had an oppertunity to work on issues before you was taken so quickly from our lifes.Johnny we were young making promises to one another but I never forgot not even one and I know that you knew my heart that's the only reason you would ask me to keep them.I'm doing my best to keep at least one now I just hope you see and your smileing down on us.You have 6 wonderfull children and a Very Loveing Wife who loves and misses you dearly.Your Mother, Wife, Daughter's, Son's,Brother's,Sister Nices,Nephews and Grandaughters and many friends who all wish that you did not have to go,You will always live in our hearts Johnny.I know your in Heaven where there's no more tears or sadness just God's eternal love.I know that in sprit your with them morning,noon and night and I'm doing my best to be a shoulder to cry one,have a ear to listen,have open arms for hugs you would be pleased.The bond that is being made will last a life time but it is the love we share for you that brought us together.When I think of your life here on earth and all those loving years it brings me to tears.My heart goes out to the family at this time and in the days ahead.God Bless and I Love You All.

I will love you always and forever Johnny... you will never be forgotten

I grew up 4 doors down from the Workmans.. Freddie and Reva were like my adopted grandparents.. Johnny was always around me and tried hard to keep me out of trouble. Though i havent been around the family in years, this is a huge loss to me and my family.. Our thought and prayers r with the Workman family..
