Johnny loved his family very much. His wife, children, and grandson were his pride and joy. Johnny always wanted to be a grandpa, the day his grandson Isaiah was born was the best day of his life. Johnny enjoyed spending time with family and friends. Johnny was very kind to others, he never hesitated to help others when in need. In his free time he enjoyed fixing cars. Johnny had a huge love for music of all genres. The last month before his passing he was always wearing his headphones jammin’ out.
