    He sure was a man of determination, as purgers mightA man who didn’t share his uplifting inner-soul to many, with listening ears, his soul spoke as his words flowed firmly out to be heard. No matter the storms that came nigh, Johnny kept that smile and kept on walking it out. I am honored to have known him 22 yrs. He was a man of example and a man that would dance in the rain of the storm, shouting with victory!!
    May God continue to bless him for her will be remembered throughout my life as well others that knew him. May God’s overflowing grace and comforting peace be completely sufficient for those that mourn him.

      He sure was a man of determination, as I once thought was plain stubborn and one- sided. A man who didn’t share his troubles nor spill his heart to everyone that came along. He gave the shirt off his back, and would give his last to a perfect stranger and even those that might have been advisory’s. When I was attentive, I learned how inspiring his inner-soul was expressed , with listening ears, his soul spoke as his words flowed firmly out to be heard. No matter the storms that came nigh, Johnny kept that smile and kept on walking it out. He was a man of example and a man that continued dancing at the calming, thru the eye, throughout the rain of the storms, shouting with ecstatic victory before he ever reached his answers from God’s promises, but he knew from all the rainbows!!
      May God continue to bless him for he will be remembered throughout my life as well others that knew him. May God’s overflowing grace and comforting peace be completely sufficient for those that mourn him. Thanks for your smile and example that God is love and no one loves like God himself. In the storm we’re not alone. Thanks Whether Bee.. too bright for sun glasses, no more storms, for the crown’s you earned with your loyalty, are placed on your head!!!
