Johnny Paul Woods

Johnny is preceded in death by his parents, William and Lois Woods; brothers, Marshall Woods, Bobby Woods; sisters, Evanell Davis, Mary Johnson; and great grandson, Andrew Austin Hecht. He is survived by his children, Bill (Tracy) Woods, Dewayne (Stacey) Woods, David (Tammy) Woods, Tim (Teresa) Woods; grandchildren, Claire (Austin) Hecht, Jacob Woods, Steven (Kelly) Woods, Zachary (Hannah) Woods, Allen (Tabby) Woods, Joshua Woods, Autumn (Harrison) Osborn, Austyn (Carley Bruce) Woods, Landen (Sierra) Woods, and Braxton Woods; great grandchildren, Ellie Woods, Westyn Woods, Dakota Woods, Noah Woods, Lilly Woods, Bodie Brown, Willow Brown, Wesley Woods, and Cassie Woods; brother, Billy Woods; several nieces and nephews.

Johnny was a man who found happiness in life's simple pleasures, tending to his garden, caring for his bees, enjoying morning coffee with friends, and sharing his love of Model A cars. He found peace sitting on his porch, watching and feeding the hummingbirds, and appreciating the beauty of nature.

But above all, one of his greatest joys was being Pawpaw. His grandchildren held a special place in his heart, and the love and memories they shared will forever be cherished.

He lived a life filled with family, friendship, and simple blessings. Though his chair on the porch may now be empty, his memory will live on in every blooming flower, every hummingbird that returns, and every heart he touched.

A life well lived, a love that remains, and memories that will forever bloom.

A Celebration of Life Service will be conducted at 1:00 pm on Thursday, October 15, 2026, at Center Baptist Church with Rev. Kenny Jacobs officiating. The interment will follow in the Church Cemetery with Jacob Woods, Steven Woods, Zachary Woods, Allen Woods, Joshua Woods, Austyn Woods, Landon Woods, and Braxton Woods serving as pallbearers. The family will receive friends on Wednesday, October 14, 2026, from 5:00 pm until 7:00 pm at the funeral home.
