I just found out of Johnny’s passing. I let Johnny handle at least 7 vehicle purchases I made over the last 15 years. He was a gem of a person. Honest, hard working and thoughtful. I could get him laughing with his infectious laugh. I will forever be better for his help. RIP friend. I will miss you. Rick

Johnny was a hella guy, he worked with us in the cafeteria. He would bring his wife's music for us to listen to, he was very wise and gave us all good advice. He loved the students and did everything he could to help them, whatever the situation and they loved him. We were very sad when he left back to Tennessee but he did what needed to be done for Sandra. Fly high my friend, there will never be another you, rest EZ, God Bless 🙏🏻♥️🕊️😢

I am sorry for the loss of your loved one Mr. Johnny. A few years ago,I bought a car for my daughter and Mr. Johnny was the salesman. I will remember him because he always remember me by sending birthday and Christmas cards. The cards were an advertisement from the dealership but Mr. Johnny made me feel special. I will keep y'all in my prayers.
