Johnny was born on January 7, 1964, in Houston, Texas to Juan and Maria Gomez. He graduated from Santa Rosa High School in 1982. He married Alicia, his high school sweetheart on April 6, 1985. Johnny worked as a claims adjuster for various insurance companies.

His children remember him as a faithful and loyal servant to his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, and he encouraged them to do the same.

Johnny was passionate about being a son, husband, brother, father, uncle, and grandfather. His love, advice and counsel will be treasured by his family and all those who knew him. He considered his greatest accomplishment in life to be his service to his church, Templo Bethel CLADIC Santa Rosa, Texas. He served as a deacon and church secretary for 35 years. He was known for his barbecue pit skills for both brisket and chicken fund-raisers. He also filled other roles of leadership as he was called upon to do. He was a witty and multi-talented individual who loved the Lord and used every opportunity to further God’s kingdom. He was the family MacGyver and was called upon by many family members to fix literally anything and he did it with all his heart. He will be greatly missed by all who loved him.
