Marietta Southern Cremations & Funerals
Johnnie Ray Damron, age 28, of Atlanta, Georgia passed on Monday July 22, 2013. Johnnie was born in Atlanta, Georgia at Georgia Baptist Hospital on April 25, 1985; weighing only 3lbs and 7.5oz. He was the firstborn to Laura Joganic and Lonnie Damron.
Johnnie worked as a landscaper at "White Oak Leaf Landscaping", and picked up side jobs whenever possible. Johnnie was a man that was extremely humble and very easy to please. He craved a simple life based on hard work and peace. Johnnie valued his family above all, and also took pride and love in his family. He would go to the extra mile to help a family member that was in need.
This may be a time to mourn Johnnie's death, but that's not what Johnnie would've wanted. He would want everyone to dig deep in their memories shared with him, and celebrate his life, his qualities and traits, and his accomplishments.
Johnnie is survived by his parents, Laura Joganic and Lonnie Damron; his brother, Alexander Damron; and a host of other relatives and friends.

I Can Only Imagine How Wonderful & Fortunate That The Ones Who Knew & Loved This Heaven Sent Child & Man To Watch And Walk With During The Time Of His Life Here On Earth…His Spirit Still Remains With All Of Us & When We Awaken In The Mornings Hush, He Is The Swift Uplifting Rush. Of Quiet Birds In Circled Flight, He Is The Soft Stars That Shine At Night. Johnnie Damron Whispers: Do Not Stand At My Grave And Cry, I Am Not There; I Did Not Die! My Image Of Him Until We Are Called To Join Him Once Again…
