Johnny Cortez Knaff

Johnny Cortez Knaff was born on March 19th, 1979 to Sharon Lynne Knaff and Johnny Green in Cincinnati, Ohio. He was the middle child of three. Johnny, or Nitty as he was known by his friends and family, loved to smile and make others others smile. When he walked into a room he made it his business to brighten up the room. He made sure that everyone laughed! If you REALLY knew Nitty, you're smiling now! Johnny attended Walter Peoples Middle School and Withrow High school. In his journey through life, Johnny touched many people with his charismatic, energetic and humorous personality. He was always willing to give, rather than receive. Truly Nitty's style Johnny always made time for his friends and family, but what he loved most was spending time with his kids. This was his favorite pastime. And eating! He rarely passed up a good meal. But overall, the world is a better place, since GOD blessed us with Johnny.
