My deepest condolences on the passing of Johnny.
He will be remembered fondly by all who knew him.
I was introduced to Linda once at Chris's but
never got to meet his sister. He loved his
friends and family dearly. I will truly miss him
and will keep the family and rest of his friends
in my prayers.
Always loved him from birth ..... A little cotton headed bag of
joy ..... Alway plotting what to do next....But oh the happiness
he brought to my life ....Always willing to go that extra mile for
anyone .......I would never give up 1 minute of the time or
conversation with him........He will always be in my heart and
I'll never quit loving him, the rest of my life on earth .....They
make different kinds of cars , different houses, different
clothes, and many other things ........ But our Lord and Savior
made only (1) Johnny B.Malone Jr. and I had the privilege to
know hm from birth to death .....One day I'll see him again ..❤️
