The Auza family have long been considered 'extended family' to mine. Many of us grew up and went to school with each other. Johnny was always special and so much fun. He will be missed.

He was quite the joker, always full of the devil, and loved life - especially when he was younger. He was everybody's friend and would do most anything if he thought it would be fun. We stayed in touch over all these years and I will always miss him and am sorry that he's not with us anymore.

I was so sorry to hear that Johnny had passed away. We went to high school together and had remained friends ever since then. I will always remember him and always miss him. Pat Bagwell Adams
