The family of Robert Edward Johns Jr. has invited the Patriot Guard Riders (PGR) to attend the Military Honors of their loved one as he makes his final journey. It will be our honor to do so.
Robert "Bob" Johns Jr. was 61 years young, he was born April 23, 1957 and passed on June 25, 2018.
Bob served in the U.S. Army from 1975 thru 1979. His rank was SP4 at the time of his honorable discharge from his military service and was stationed in Korea during much of his time in the Army.
Bob was a general contractor and NASCAR crew chief during his civilian life. He loved riding his Harley, camping and fishing, cooking and barbecuing, flying model planes, kites and helicopters. He was a huge Minnesota Vikings and LA Dodger fan. He loved his pets, politics and old western movies.
His surviving family includes siblings Debbie and Rudy Resch, Carol and Frank Meeker, Mark and Yvette, Steven and Michael, and children Nichol, Keith, Shawn, and grandchildren Madeline, Rory, Celine, Carter and Sofia Johns.
