Outside of work, he found joy in gardening and tending to his plants. He was a fan of NASCAR and loved watching westerns, savoring the comforts of home-cooked meals, and sharing his famous banana pudding at special gatherings. Above all, Johnny cherished his friends, family, and his faith in the Lord. He will be dearly missed!
