  • Johnny was my brother and we got really close when I heard he passed I couldn't believe it. He and I would always argue about the stupidest things. I was really looking forward to him coming and spending a couple days with us, I missed him and he would always make me laugh. I remember when he woke me up at 3 o'clock in the morning and told me to go school, I told its to early and I'm going back to sleep. but he didn't listen to me so we sat up for half an hour talking to each other then one of us passed out. I miss you Johnny I will see you again. I love you! - Posted by: Fheeniks Thomas (Sister) on: Oct 28, 2015

  • Johnny my friend - you left us too soon. I will never forget you, and whatever has happened in the past is forgotten. You were one of a kind, and the world lost something special in you. You're at rest now John, and I will see you again. - Posted by: Jeff Beaudry () on: Oct 11, 2015
