Extending my heartfelt sympathy to John's family. His sudden death is so shocking. I always enjoyed sitting in his chair listening to him talk on his phone (that laughter). The last time he cut my hair he was talking to me and laughing about his devious ways when he was younger with the ladies. You have left a huge void in the hair styling profession. You were one of the best and are missed already. REST IN PEACE. Linda

Rest in Peace Johnny Red Nellena Martin New Orleans, Louisiana

Wow John I can't believe you're gone. I will never forget the life lessons I have learned from you. I was your shampoo assistant at Uptown Tanz on Woodley and when you were at Roots Salon. We had a lot of laughs.But you also taught me about being professional and being versatile. Not only were you my boss, you were my friend. Years later I could always pull up on you for a hairstyle, advice or just to chop it up. I'm gonna miss sitting on that bench in front of Another Chance. Your friendship made a difference in my life.And you had a big heart. I was just texting with you 2 weeks ago. I was supposed to come get my eyebrows arched when you came back in town. I had no idea that would be our last time talking.Im gonna miss you But I know you're in Heaven and you've gained your wings. Prayers to the family and everyone that loved him. He will always be a legend to me.πŸ™πŸ½πŸ™πŸ½β€οΈ. Chanda Crawford

RIP Lil John aka Red. I've known you and your parents and sister for many years back when your Mom turned that gas station into a hair salon. I had the pleasure of knowing your family. I have many memories with the McClenney Family. May God Bless your family with peach to get through this time.πŸ’”

To the McClenney Family whom I had the pleasure knowing your family back when we all worked at your Mom's shop. I remember buying a stick shift car and I couldn't even drive it but you drove it home for me and taught me how to drive the dang car. My heart goes out to your Mom cause you was her Lil Red, your big sista LaTonia who had your back, and your dad Mr McClenney who set the foundation on who to be a man and take care of your family! RIP my friend , from Innus your Delaware Connection

I did not expect to look on Facebook and see RIP Johnny Red! I rolled up to the shop that Friday night and you were sitting in the truck and as usual we have to have a shouting match before getting to the matter at hand. Can you cut my hair or not? Of course, you going to make that money so it was a yes! You told me your sinuses were acting up and me being me asked a hundred questions to make sure you had covered all tracks from COVID to antibiotics! You gave me that look as if to say alright already! I appreciate you so much for accommodating me with my wheelchair! Thank you for the love you shared, you are and will be missed! Praying that the Peace of God with rest on your family, friends, clients, and everyone you touched!Love you my friend! Chenetta Brown

My condolences to the family...Johnny Red your Presence will be missed...I can hear you calling my first & last name....Felicia Equhart--the 1st day of elementary school....

My sincerest condolences the the family. I was in shock when I heard of his passing. I met John when I moved to montgomery in 1997. I would come get a tan and my wife would get her hair done.

He's going to missed. - Brent and Tameka Nix

I must say, this has been one of the hardest things for me to wrap my mind around. John, I can't even express in words what I feel in my heart. You started off as my stylist over 20 years ago, then you became my dear friend. Our last conversation this summer was about getting your three grandchildren in SKYCAP at ASU. We spoke with Representative Penni McClammy and they had a place to go for the summer. You always looked out for everyone so please continue to watch over us all. You will truly be missed by me and my entire family. Rest In Peace my forever friend. Felicia Reed-Taylor (You were the only one that called me by my entire name)

First, my heart and condolences goes out to the family doing this difficult time. I'm still in shock even as I write this post, I tear up because I can't believe you're not with us anymore. Just know that so many of us who was around you, like Felecia Martin said in a post, for 40 years you enlighten us with your big smile and your willingness to always to put things together so you can bring us together. That's what made our bond of friendship so strong and beautiful. Red were a pillar to the community...You were our brother and we are going to miss you. I end with this, I'm glad I got to say I love you on a call before the all-class picnic when I could make it, and I will love you for evermore dear friend. Rozeal Clark
