Johnny Rhoades

Johnny was a proud veteran of the United States Air Force, and his dedication to his country was only surpassed by the love he had for his family. He was an avid Alabama football fan, reveling in every Roll Tide victory with immense pride. Johnny also found great joy in hunting, appreciating the peace and serenity that time spent in the outdoors brought him. A true fan of classic black and white westerns, he had a deep appreciation for life's simpler pleasures. Above all, Johnny was a devoted family man, and as a husband, he was extraordinary—his love and commitment cannot be fully expressed in words. Johnny’s legacy will continue to live on in the hearts of all who had the privilege of knowing him.
