We lost touch for many years but Johnny recently came back into my life. Everytime we talked I thought he had figured out his new path in life. I know he had the Lord in his heart an although I hate he is no longer on earth, I know he is in heaven! He was an amazing person, just a genuine good guy, loved everyone, always seen the positive in peoole . He will definitely be missed but I am glad God brought him back into my life even if it was cut short. You had a beautiful soul Johnny an I know your soul in heaven is just as pure.

As I read the comments on facebook and hear what people have to say about my brother, it feels my empty heart with happiness to see how much he was loved, liked and respected not just by his family but all those around him. I am so glad to know that he left this world as a man of goodness and love. I will miss my little brother more then anyone will ever know we were so close and I am proud to have had this man as my little brother. No matter what took my brother from this world let us all remember his heart that he shared with us all, the legacy he left within his son Dolton Small and the the love for God that he shared with all he came in touch with. I love you Johnny Small with every breath I take and I will never miss a day without hearing your voice seeing your smile or missing you. Rest in peace my love your sister Andrea.

I have a emptiness in me right now from the loss of Johnny. We spent a good deal of our childhood and early adult life together. Then as adult life goes we drifted apart and got busy with work and kids. We would still catch up every so often and remember things we had done and got away with and the things we didn't. Iam empty right this second but I'm smiling knowing Johnny was saved and he is with our lord and savior without pain and sorrow waiting for all of us to be reunited. Good by my friend
