Words can not express the deep sorrow for the lost of Johnny. He and I worked together at Johnson County Emergency Communications he always had a smile on his face and would always ask how you were doing. I didn't know Johnny long but he will not be forgotten. Prayers to Johnny's family during this difficult time.

John and Chris, I am so sorry to hear about Johnny´s passing. We as parents should never have to go through this. You have my deepest sympathies and know I will keep you and your family in my prayers. Lindsey,Eric, and Johnny were like the three musketeers in and around the Wolf household. If you saw one you saw all three for many years. Pre-school thru graduation they stayed great friends. They were in band together, choirs, went camping together, but mostly hung out together at the park or each other´s homes! He made everyone laugh till they cried! He will be truly missed by all who knew him. Lindsey, Tara, and myself have our deepest sympathies!

You have my deepest sympathy. Wishing you peace, comfort, courage, and lots of love at this time of sorrow. I was very saddened to hear of his passing. I knew Johnny from years ago, he and I worked on the Casino boat together. He wasn't there long I don't believe, but made a huge lasting impression. He was super nice, very funny, personality larger than life, and made the most delicious caramel pretzels at Christmas time for everyone to share. He has been thought of many times since then, and always, the thoughts brought a smile to my face. My sincerest condolences.

Johnny was a shooting star. His presence was a bright light against the dark sky...moving quickly and inspiring awe in those who caught a glimpse of him. His love and acceptance of others was limitless. To know him, was to love and adore him.
Johnny's friendship has been a true blessing to my life. The world was a better place when he was in it!
There is so much more to say, and yet it's so hard to find the words to express my sorrow for losing an incredible friend, and the gratitude I feel for having the privilege of knowing him. I have a million funny and questionable memories that will bring a smile for the rest of my life.
To his parents: thank you for the gift of Johnny. He was a gift!
Love you my friend, my Boo Thang, my CPE07 brother.
