Johnny had an outgoing personality, was quick-witted, smart, and had a great sense of humor. He enjoyed gaming online and board games with his family. He brought laughter, smiles, and joy to everyone around him. Our hearts are broken by his passing.
Johnny graduated with his associates degree from Metro Community College and his bachelor’s degree from Bellevue University while concurrently battling an aggressive cancer.
