   On Wednesday May 8,2024, Johnny completed his journey here and went on to be with the Lord and Savior. Johnny confessed Christ at an early age and later joined Macedonia Missionary Baptist Church, where he was a faithful member until his failing health prevented him from being an active member.

    Johnny was a hard and dedicated worker; he became an employee of Gayfers Warehouse at the age of 16 in the year of 1963 where he climbed the ladder from a warehouse worker to a head supervisor.
