Johnny Hammonds, Fall Branch, TN
Johnny Russell Hammonds, 54, Fall Branch, TN, passed away unexpectedly after being ill for sometime on Saturday, February, 13, 2016 at his residence.
Johnny was born in Sullivan County, TN on August 15, 1961 to Eugene Marvin and the late Lois Pearl Ferguson Wright Hammonds.
In addition to his mother, his son, Jonathon Conley Hammonds; special niece, Cassandra BJ Hammonds Carter; special friends, Red Lawson, Ship Brickey, Stacy Hayes, preceded him in death.
Johnny had lived in Fall Branch Community for several years. He was a retired farmer. He loved life, his family, his children, and his wife of 25 years. He loved hunting with his daughter Rebecca “Punkin” Hammonds. He loved his baby boy and best friend, Josh Hammonds. He loved and cherished his son, John boy who had preceded him in death. Johnny was always a cut up and loved to tell old stories and reminisce about adventures with his wife, brothers, cousins and friends. He loved his grandchildren, but papaw’s boy was Chevy, and Jalen was mamaw’s boy, both of the home. Johnny had a special saying “A man is only as good as his word. Without that you are nothing.”
