Add A Condolence

I am so sorry to hear of the loss of your loved one. May you find peace and comfort in the promises of our heavenly Father Jehovah, as found in his Word the Bible, at Acts 24:15: "... there is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous.", and Psalm 37:29: "The righteous will possess the earth, and they will live forever on it." www.jw.org

Sincere Condolences to the Family

Johnny, it was 26 years ago this month when I met you at the Opelousas Wal-Mart. We became friends instantly. I have many fond memories of you my friend. We liked a lot of the same things. Science and going to the movies were just a few and we also liked to talk about our Lord and Savior Jesus and man, did we have many interesting conversations on that subject! I also remember going to visit your church several times and seeing you play the keyboard. It was a joy to watch you worshiping the Lord in church through that instrument. What you had was indeed a God-given talent and you played it so well for Him! The world was a little bit better while you were in it, and I say that from the deepest recesses and catacombs of my heart and soul. I will certainly miss you Johnny. Godspeed and Godbless my friend until we meet again.

My heartfelt condolences to family on transitioning of Johnny Jr May God give you comfort and strength during your time of sorrow.

I remember when he played for my wedding we sat down and went through song trying to find one that I wanted for my special day. We fuss, we laughed and for the wedding I did not remember what he played justice he said. I will miss my long time friend.

Our staff will continue to keep your family in our prayers. We thank you for allowing us to serve your family.
