Johnny was a good person and friend, he will be missed, my prayers or out for him and his family 

This is Debbies Cousin Patti, I am so very sorry, I had no idea he had passed away.  He was always the kindest person I ever knew, quiet and humble. I know he found a lot of happiness later in his life and Im very happy to know that. Again my condolences to Willie and the family. Prayers for him and all of you. So very sorry

I didn’t know Johnny, but I know my Dad and him were cousins.  They both died just months apart.  Really sad, I know that they both loved doing paving work.  My dad Jessie Nicely most knew him as Bottles around Blaine.

My prayers are with the family.  I am sorry for your loss. I only met Johnny once but I have heard many stories from Ronnie, so I feel that I did know Johmny.  If I can help in any way just ask and I will be there.

I worked with Johnny for the last 5 years at Harrison! He was always so helpful and treated me with such respect! I will always miss him and his willingness to train me and teach me everything he could. His smile made me feel so welcome on every job he was on.

Johnny will be tremendously missed, known him since the 70’s, a honor to know him and work with him The Rooster sends prayers to the family. 

To a good friend, I’ll  miss you being around. But I know you are in a better place. Prayers for peace and comfort for the family. 

I’ve worked with Johnny for the last 3 seasons. I remember first meeting him, he always smelled like my great grandpa used to. I could always look down the road, at night, and pick him out of the crew. We had many talks about Jesus. He will be missed!

I have worked with Johnny Nicely on several paving projects over the years and he was always professional, considerate, quality conscious and a pleasure to work with. He will be missed by many in the paving industry.

I worked with Johnny at Harrison for the last year and a half you could not ask for a better man than him. He always had a smile on his face. He will be missed greatly by many my heart and prayers go out to his family and friends. 

I worked with Johnny for the last 5 years. He was by far the most helpful person I have dealt with on any project. Always in a good mood and willing to do what it takes to help a friend. You could always tell where Johnny was on a job site by his halo light on his hard hat. When there was an issue and I saw that light coming up the road I knew it was soon to get taken care of. Rest in Peace good sir and thank you for sharing your vast wealth of knowledge with me for the last few years. 

Johnny was a wealth of knowledge.  Was always able to answer any question I had about asphalt.  We have lost a great friend, and a wealth of knowledge that can not ever be replaced.

Johnny was a good friend, and coworker, known Johnny many years and work out many job related problems, he always had the knowledge, about paving, he will be missed , he is with the lord, many blessings to the family in this time of sadness. 

There are not enough people in the world with the kind of heart that he had. He was always kind, unselfishly giving, and loving. He will be missed greatly. 

I'm sorry to hear of Johnny's passing. We worked together on many TDOT paving jobs over the years. Your family is in my thoughts today.

Sorry to hear of Johnny's passing. I worked with him on state road paving. I work at TDOT. 

Lots of love and prayers to the family. He was a sweet man and he loved his granddaughters dearly. Rest In Peace Johnny

Over my nearly 19 years with the City of Knoxville, I have had the great privilege to work with Johnny.  I feel very blessed  to call him a dear friend & will miss him greatly.  I will forever cherish all he taught me.  May God be with his entire family (especially my good friend Willie Nicely) & lift the family's spirits in knowing he is at peace, rejoicing with the Lord.  This is not goodbye forever, only for now until we meet him again on God's Golden Shore.

I have done  several jobs with Johnny over my 25 year carrer at TDOT. It was always a blessing to know he would be on the job, I referred to him as the Gentleman's Gentleman,  the nicest and most wonderful person you could ever want to be around. I will miss you my friend, it won't be the same without you but we will meet again.

“Gentle Giant”....if you know what that means....then you know Johnny. If you have heard not a mean bone in his body.... then you know Johnny. I am so sorry  for not staying in touch over the years.  It’s a mistake on my part. His body is in the ground, his soul is in heaven and his memory will always be with me. He is a brother and a friend.

I am sorry to hear of Johnny's passing. I worked several jobs with him and I always enjoyed working with him. He was a great friend. I pray the family will experience God's peace during this terrible time. 

Johnny was a most beloved brother with a heart of gold.Even as a child he was sweetest little boy never mean to anyone  .loved his family dearly and will be missed  God sure gained a beautiful angel

I will forever miss getting to know this dear sweet man better. We had lots in common and I sometimes would have to tear myself away from our conversations or they would have lasted all day. You don't often meet real men of substance, conviction, character, and honor these days but that was Johnny and you knew it within a few minutes of talking to him. He had lots of memories of the "old ways" and we talked about that stuff every time we were together. I will miss him and so will all those he came in contact with.....such a pillar and stand up guy. Heaven has gained a beautiful soul. My condolences to the family and prayers for mercy during this difficult time.

Thomas Harmon III

Johnny was a great guy, friend, always talking about his grandchildren. Gone too soon and I will miss him. Just a very stand-up number 1 man. Condolences to all his family. 

I will forever remember the way he looked at my Aunt Kim- his love for her was undeniable!. He was an absolutely amazing man that loved stronger than anyone I’ve ever known.. Rest in Peace Uncle Johnny... Thank You......
