Johnny was a dedicated rancher. He had a passion for raising some of the finest registered Rambouillet sheep around, as well as raising cattle and goats. He also served on the Soil Conservation Service board for over 45 years.
Anyone that knew Johnny knew that he loved to tell a good story. He loved to entertain, and he loved to make people laugh. More than anything on this earth though, Johnny loved his family. He was a devoted husband, father, and Paw Paw. His smile would light the room any time any of his grandchildren or great-grandchildren would come to visit. He gave the BEST hugs. He will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved him.
