Johnny Breeding

We are sad to announce the passing of Johnny Breeding. On the morning
of August 5th, he left us for other endeavors. He will be missed by all.

Johnny Wendell Breeding was born December 13, 1949 in Hope, Arkansas.
He was the pride and joy of his parents, Coy Breeding and Abbie Hutchins
Breeding. Johnny was a devoted husband, loving father and doting
grandfather.

His passions included welding , creating metal works, cooking smoked
meats and fishing. He could build anything out of metal just by looking at a
picture. He created many items from simple stainless steel cooking pots for
his chili and Barbecue cooking and durable tractor seat bar stools to
extravagant fences with beautiful decorative entry gates and huge smokers
on wheels for friends to enjoy

One other passion was his love of a good joke. He was always looking for
an opportunity to get someone with his quick wit. He even loved the rare
occasion when the joke turned around on him. He would take it in stride
and everyone would get a good laugh.

Johnny is preceded in death by his parents Coy and Abbie Breeding. He
leaves behind his wife of 30 years, Phyllis Breeding. He also leaves behind
a daughter, Denyse (Roger) McLelland of Farmington, Arkansas; sons,
Justin Breeding of Louisiana and Kevin (Reanna) Key of Columbus
Arkansas. He also leaves behind two granddaughters, two grandsons, two
great-grandchildren and numerous friends. All will cherish his legacy of
devotion, love and laughter.
Services to be at later date.
