I was fortunate enough to work with Johnny for about 10 years, what a class individual he was. Always had a kind heart and encouraging words. Rest in peace my friend.

How saddened I was to read about Johnny's passing. He barbered my late husband, Bob Lewis' hair for several decades. He was truly a friend of ours and we extend to all his family our sincerest condolences.

Cam and family,
You and Brother Johnny have been such a wonderful blessing to us all at Liberty House of Prayer. It was very clear, to all, that Brother Johnny walked with the Lord and loved sharing his knowledge of the Lord. We are grateful for the time the Lord gave us with him and we look forward to seeing him again in heaven.
2Cor5:8 says,"We are confident,that to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord." We know that Brother Johnny is there! Praise God!
We love you all and will be there for you. Joe & Pat Arnold & fly.
