Johnny, the son of Henry Morris Meredith & Ima Gene Atkinson Meredith, was born Feb. 27, 1947, in Lamar County, TX.

He attended Paris Schools. Johnny’s father was a painter, and he began working with him at the age of 12, and worked until his health failed.

Johnny attended Life Community Church. He was a member of the Paris Road Runners and participated in triathlons until the age of 70.
