Dennis "Johnny" John Fegan IV

Born on a day of celebration—July 4, 1987—Johnny brought a spark of energy and light into the world from the very beginning. His life was defined by his love for his family and friends. He was a dedicated husband and a proud father who cherished every moment spent with his son and looked forward with great anticipation to the arrival of his daughter. He was loyal, creative, and witty.

Johnny grew up in Colleyville and attended The University of North Texas. He was a talented, well-respected Flame Artist working in post-production for films and television. Outside of work, Johnny was happiest when he was with his family or watching a Packers game. He loved working in the yard: raking leaves, watering the grass, fire pits, & grilling. He loved old movies and watched TCM religiously. He was very creative and loved art and music as well. He had a unique ability to make people smile, and his absence will be deeply felt by all who knew him.

He is survived by his loving wife, Gretchen; his son, Dennis John V; and his unborn daughter, Olivia, who will grow up knowing her father’s spirit and love. Johnny is also survived by his parents Dennis John II and Nancy; his grandmothers, Joyce and Margaret; and his four brothers and their wives: George and Nicole, Paul and Ruth, Peter and Taylor, and David and Addison. He was a beloved uncle to his nieces and nephews: Madeline, Harrison, Charlie, and Kyra, and he leaves behind a large, close-knit circle of extended family and devoted friends.

He was preceded in death by his grandfathers, Dennis John I and George Colvin.
