I am an old friend of Mr. John's daughter, Jennifer. I just wanted to let the family know that they are being thought of in their time of grieving and that he is being remembered by many members of the community. If I knew how to get in contact with Jennifer I would.

It is so hard to think that Johnny will not be a "camp" when we return. I could always count on having a good debate with Johnny on something. Both of us trying to have the last word. Johnny could talk Floyd out of doing "honey dos" and heading for the lease to have fun. Three generations of the Mathews-Doise family have been touched by "Johnny Boy". We will miss you. Until we meet again. PeeWee and Linda

Deana,I had Hidden Falls Ranch and Johnny and the kids would come riding and see the horses. I just saw Johnny a couple of weeks ago, it was a shock to hear he was gone. He was always so optomistic and full of life. You and your family are in my prayers

When I think of "The woods" Johnny always comes to mind. Just about every time mom and dad would come back I would ask "Whats Johnny and them up to" You were always sure he was having fun!! The little smile on his face would keep you wondering just what he was up to and every trip out to the lease with him was an adventure!! We sure are going to miss you bud. You will forever be in our prayers. Allen, Angie & Alyse Doise

My sincere thoughts, prayers and love go out to all of Johnny's friends, family and co-workers. We were shocked and filled with loss when we found out about his death. Our lunches with our friends at Charlie's office will definately not be the same without Johnny and his funny sense of humor. We will miss him. The Relocation Department at American Real Estate

As cousins (Bubba was my father and Johnny's Uncle) I regret our paths did not cross or that I never had a chance to meet Deana and the children. My deepest condolences.
