Helping Families and Friends Honor Their Loved One

Johnny Witherspoon Jr., age 65

Johnny Witherspoon Jr., 65, of Jacksonville, AR, went to be with the Lord on July 17, 2024. Born on November 27, 1958 in Jackson, TN to parents Johnny Witherspoon Sr. and Billie Jean Hopper who preceded him in death. He was a devoted husband, a loving father, dear friend and jack of all trades.

Johnny spent most of his time in his garage restoring his beloved 1973 Challenger, fixing lawn mowers and vehicles, riding his Harley and working on home projects. He never met a stranger, always striking up a conversation wherever he went. His hobbies and interests helped define who he was and started many lasting friendships. Johnny was someone who always reminded you how much he cared about you and how much you meant to him. He was loved by many and will be missed dearly by all who knew him.

He is survived by his loving wife, Robbie; his children, Shasta (Eric) and Johnny III; step-children, April (Paul) and Matthew; sister, Mary; aunt, Lorraine; five grandchildren, Christopher, Maddison, Kane, Wesson and Bryson; cousins, Ricky and Vickey; and friends and their families that became his family, Majid and Rochelle, Gary, Bob and Gordon.

    Many years you were a part of our family. You are still family because you are the dad to my niece and nephew (Shasta and Johnny). I still remember all the gatherings we had as a family. We will see you again in Heaven someday. Love you, Richard and Phyllis Stewart.
