Johnny hardwick is a stand up comedy man who plays Dale gribble from fox´s tv show king of the hill and he is a male actor and he is from 2023 until his passing. Johnny is 64 years old and he is a cool person who played dale from king of the hill. And I´m going to miss my lovely Johnny hardwick so much. Johnny enjoyed playing rusty shackleford. And he loves to shoot guns in the target. I´m going to miss you. R. I. P. Johnny hardwick (dale.) rusty shackleford. As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends.

Johnny was a great voice actor for Dale Gribble from the King of the Hill series. He loved making jokes, made conspiracy theories during the King of the Hill series, and made a lot of laughters. He will be missed by his family and a lot of his fans. RIP

I am so sorry for your loss. I didn't know him personally but I felt like I did know Dale Gribble. I have watched KOTH since it first came on and everyday since. Thanks for all of your laughter you brought me and my family and my kids. RIP

Thank you for your sharing your God given talents. From playing the piano to your writing and voice acting and for making me smile by adopting your dog, Willie. Heaven needed an angel. Angel duty now. Will miss you.
