Johnny loved and excelled at baseball growing up, which carried over to him being an avid Razorback fan. He was an outdoorsman, making special memories with friends and family hunting ducks, deer, and fishing. Camping was another way he made special moments with family and friends, willing to cook out for the group. He loved his special pets and let them boss him around. It was his nature to make others around him feel good. His smile could light up a room and he never met a stranger. He loved to share his love of Christ with hopes that all would come to know Him as their Savior. Johnny was preceded in death by his parents.
