Deepest Condolences to the family and friends of Johnny. Johnny was known to me as my brother and to my children as Uncle Johnny, this is what he told my children, I was his brother for life and he was their Uncle. We were deeply saddened when we heard Johnny had gained his wings. We had made plans for the summer, but they were not Gods plan for Johnny, we loved him, but God loved him more. God has carried Johnny to a greener pasture for him to get his rest, and to live in the house with Him forever.
Our thoughts, our love and our prayers are with you Amy and Cody, as well as the other members of the family.
