It has been 12 years since this bright light was tragically extinguished. I had been friends with Johnny for many years. Unfortunately at the time of his death I was in a very bad place and the news of his death was actually kept from me for several months. To this day it breaks my heart I couldn’t say goodbye to such an amazing friend and “big brother.” Because we looked so much alike everyone called us brother and sister. To this day I am truly blessed to have had Johnny as my “big brother.” He always looked out for me and if he had known what I was going through I know he would have been there to help my mom and try to help me. 12 years later I still think of all the fond memories. His obituary described him perfectly right down to those cowboy boots. I know he is watching down over his entire family. Especially his children whom he loved so much. Sorry for posting this all these years later. It has taken me a very long time to put the pieces of my life back together and get in a better place. I know at times Johnny was watching over me because I could hear him talking to me. God bless all of you. Juli Brandt
