So Sorry for your loss
You made a HUGE difference in our lives. So many laughs, tears, food and blooming flowers. We will not be the same without you. Our hearts are so broken. Miss you so much, until we meet again. (Monique) The Brighters and family
Jon and I traveled all over the state of Arkansas and sometimes Texas for Reliance for many years. We had many adventures during our travels, and he always wanted to go out to eat and then go shopping in the evenings. He loved shopping at TJMaxx and HomeGoods and I swear we have bought out a few Hobby Lobby stores! He always had good taste an an eye for style. We fought like siblings but always made up the next day and got the job done. I loved him like a brother and will miss him so much! My thoughts and prayers go out to his family and everyone at Reliance.
I met Johnny as one of his hair stylist we had the most amazing conversation. He will be greatly missed. My condolences to your family for your loss.

Johnny and I were very close friends in high school, and we lost touch after I moved away. I still remember his laugh! He asked me to sew his complete outfit for our Junior prom. I’m heartbroken on his passing.
So sorry to hear this. We sure had a good ole gang growing up on Davis St. Johnny was a great guy.
1st of all I'd just like to say to my great aunt Magdalene I am very sorry for your loss and you know that you are in my prayers and my thoughts continually. Janice I am also very sorry and I want you to know that you and your family are dearly loved by me!! Your brother was a great guy! You always knew that when Johnny was around you were definitely gonna get a laugh!! If nothing else that's a wonderful memory, just knowing that he touched everybody because he always brought a smile and a laugh!!! God-bless you.
I'm glad Jon and I were able to be friends. He always had a quick comeback--you never knew whatbhe was gonna say! My prayers are with your entire family.
This breaks my heart 💔. Johnny was my brother Chris's dad. He was such a sweet heart and VERY silly! I know him and my brother are loving catching up! Prayers for all that loved him!
To the family:
Growing up, Johnny and I lived on the same block of Davis Street and attended Ida Burns together. He was always so nice and friendly.
My thoughts and prayers are with the family.
I’m so sorry for your loss. Johnny was such a nice person. Always saw him with a smile on his face. RIP
Johnny will be greatly missed. His quiet sense of humor would have us laughing hysterically and not always at an appropriate time! Rest In Peace

Johnny was a dear friend since elementary school. We have stayed in touch through the years and I am heartbroken by his passing. Sending prayers and much love to his sweet family.
Johnny was such a kind and loving guy. Knew him from early age and he shared love & joy to those that knew him. Deepest sympathy to his mom, sister and other family.
RIP my stylish, funny, childhood friend. Even in IB 2nd grade, your potential was being realized by your classmates. Thank you for being you. My heartfelt thoughts are with you, Mary, at this time. Johnny will be missed.

When I would run into John at Reliance, I always enjoyed visiting with him. He always had a story to tell me. I loved seeing him during the Christmas season making sure our office area was bright & cheerful with decorated trees & other decor. He was very talented. John will be missed by his Reliance family! I will be praying for your family during this difficult time.
So sorry for you loss. Praying for you and your familyðŸ™ðŸ»
John you touched our lives in many ways. You always had a fun comment or story. We always got so tickled watching you decorate those Christmas Trees. You loved it but they also drove you crazy at the same time. You will always be remembered here at Reliance.
