Rest in peace John. You always had a good heart and listened when people confided in you. Then gave advice to them. I remember the first time we met, both of us Floridian’s in Louisiana. To the last conversation we spoke on the phone about. It was hard seeing you in pain but I’m happy your free without it. It’s hard to say goodbye to a good friend who became family to me. One day I’ll see you again. But for now the good memories are all I want to remember. What you left behind when you left this world was showing kindness to anyone. Not ever judging them. Being a true friend and family to me. Even if someone wasnt nice to you, you still showed them kindness. A reminder that even mean people need to shown that this world isn’t so bad after all. From both Gabriel and I we hope you’ve found peace. No more pain.
Sharon, Jerry, Sheila and Wayne. Our hearts are breaking for you and your family. We are praying for comfort that only the Holy Spirit of God can send. The loss of a precious son and brother has to be a painful thing. Please know that we love you all and have you in our thoughts and prayers as you go through this difficult time.
Yo, Johnny.. Rest in peace and in the arms of an angel. Thank you for all you gave.

Will miss you Johnny, you were truly an amazing person, I hope you have found peace now, going to miss you, Johnny.
We never met in person, I barely knew you at all but I know so many wonderful things about you because of the friends and loved ones who knew you so well. Your sense of humor, your patience, your love of God and your willingness to forgive. You were a peacemaker. When friends were dealing with lives frustrations you were the one to urge to forgive and just pray for them.
You set a shining example of what a christian SHOULD be in this life. I hope and pray to meet you some day on the heavenly streets of gold. God bless.
I am very sorry to hear of Johnny’s passing, My heart and prayers go out to his family He will be missed very much by all he knew. Johnny was one of the most sweetest loving caring person he had that special way about him to make you laugh without even trying. No one could ask for a better friend, always willing to lend an ear, always willing to pray for his friends and loved ones. I will always treasure his friendship and the long chats he is truly a christian a true angel. you were a dear friend and a true christian brother. May you rest in peace Johnny and now your fight and battle with pain is over rest in the arms of Jesus until we cross over and see you again God Bless.
