How do you start to speak about such a vibrant young man that made his family proud. He was in every word a great son, brother, father, and friend. Johnny was about 11 years old when I met him and his family. We moved in across the street from them and we all immediately became friends. Johnny, Michelle and the neighborhood kids hung out at our house as we were young parents and the only people on the block willing to pay for cable. All the teenagers would pile in our living room and watch MTV. We would take drives down Nebraska and Kennedy and yell out the window at people on the streets. FUN, thats what I remember most about those days! Then came the BIG TRUCK days, boy oh boy he and John took us to Thousand acres to the Rain Forest and we watched Johnny and John go through the mud and had a ball. Our son became fascinated with the sport of mudding also. There were many other memories way to many to tell that the entire Hudson family played a part in that will always be there for us to remember and laugh about. Johnnny was always a positive force in a crowd. He would stand up for what was right and good. John and Linda raised a fine young man and Jennifer (The love of his life) manicured him into a great husband and father. I know that he will be sadly and greatly missed by everyone whose lives he touched.

Johnny will always be remembered for so many good things. He was the cutest little blonde haired boy in the neighborhood growing up. No one knows why God let him be taken from his loving family at such an early age. Though he is gone the bond between him and his family will never be broken and his precious memory will be cherished by each of them. We are so very sorry for his passing and the void in his family now. Our prayers are that God will help comfort, heal and bring a calming peace inside soon, for we do not know why this happened.

What moves through us is a silence, a quite sadness, a longing for one more day, one more word, one more touch, we may not understand why you left this earth so soon, or why you left before we were ready to say goodbye, but little by little, we begin to remember not just that you died, but that you lived. And that your life gave us memories to beautiful to forget.
