My sincerest condolences to all that knew Jr. To know him was to love him. I’m glad I had the opportunity to know you, Johnny Nelms Jr. You were an awesome person.
So sorry to hear of Johnnie’s passing. Johnnie was in the basketball officiating class that I thought. He worked hard and had an infectious smile. Please accept my condolences.
To the family and friends of Johnnie, you have my deepest sympathy in your loss. When someone you love dies, it is as if you have been robbed of something truly precious, and there is nothing you can do about it. God knows how you feel because he had to endure the pain of His son’s agonizing death. Romans 6:23 says, “For the wages sin pays is death, but the gift God gives is everlasting life by Christ Jesus our Lord.” May you rely on God’s promise that Johnnie will live again!
Shocked and saddened by Johnnie’s too soon passing. I enjoyed working with Johnnie on multiple loans over the years. I knew him to be a hard working, industrious individual always trying to improve his and his family’s lives. He will be missed and I offer my condolences to his family.
I am deeply saddened by the news of your loss. I pray that God will grant you the strength. My most sincere condolences.
Johnnie was my classmate at Walnut Ridge.
I will never forget his kindness. May God give him eternal rest and the family the strength to bear the great pain.
