Seriously, it was infectious! He had this amazing energy about him. Johnny loved life to the fullest. He was always up for an adventure, whether it was a day at the beach, a night out dancing, or just chilling at home with his dog, Oreo (Oreo was his best bud!). He even wrote poetry - who knew? He was incredibly talented with a pen.
Johnny was the most loving and supportive person.He had a way of making everyone feel special and loved, whether it was family, friends, or even strangers. He had a unique personality and this laugh was totally unforgettable. He was, without a doubt, one of a kind. It's incredibly hard to say goodbye, but we'll always cherish the time we had with him. He'll forever live on in our hearts.
Johnny leaves to cherish; his mothers, Norma Williams and Victoria Williams; two sisters, Dominique, Terynika; three adopted sisters, Lisa and Tawanda, Marcia Williams, two brothers, Isiah and Demetrius Wiliams; five adopted brothers, Rodney, Frederick, Timmy, Kevin, Devin and Catrell and a beautiful niece, Ava Williams.
