Condolences & Tributes
Add A CondolenceI am Sending Love and Prayers to John's Family and friends. I worked without John at Novelis in Greensboro, Ga. As a Security Officer. God Bless You. In Jesus Name. AMEN. ♥️🙏🙏
Jeff & Tot, Sorry I won't be able to be there for the services. I will keep you and the rest of our family in my thoughts and prayers. Love y'all.
Johnny took me to several Georgia football and basketball games growing up and would take me out to eat on my birthday. He also played football and basketball with us in the yard. He did this with all of his nephews, he was a great uncle. I will miss him dearly.
Johnny had a mind like an encyclopedia, especially when it came to Georgia Bulldog sports—football in particular. He could tell you anything you wanted to know about the Bulldogs. He took me to my first college football game when Georgia beat Ole miss in a nail biter 14-13 on my birthday in the pouring rain in 1977. Johnny raised Polled Hereford cows for many years and I think of him every time I see one. Johnny was a beloved uncle to a bunch of wild boys and he'll be sorely missed.
Our staff will continue to keep your family in our prayers. We thank you for allowing us to serve your family.
