There were three constants in Johnny’s life, that was faith in the Lord, his family, and golf. Johnny was an avid golfer, he loved watching and playing it as much as he could. A hobby that he passed down to his sons and grandsons. If he wasn’t on the golf course, chances are he was at home with his family.

Johnny was a big family man and he loved being around his family, especially his wife, Juanita. Their love of one another was undeniable, and their family had the greatest example of what a loving marriage was. They were happily married for 54 years before her death in 2019.

Johnny’s greatest love was his love for the Lord. He was a member of Our Lady of Guadalupe as well as St. Mary’s. His faith is what kept him going through all the hurdles in his life. With his faith, Johnny also helped countless others. He would always say, “Give yourself to the Lord and he will show you the way.” When people saw Johnny, the first thing they noticed was his amazing smile, and now Johnny is smiling down on his family watching over them, along with his angel Juanita.
