Church and remained a faithful and active member until his death. Johnny’s truck driving career was started at the tender age of sixteen. He worked for many trucking companies over the years, but his best memories came from Boyd Bros. which allowed him to explore many places in the world. In addition, he worked for Southeast which allowed him to be close to home. In 1985 Johnny moved to Eufaula, Al. and that’s where he resided until his death.
