Default Re: Johnny Williams RIP

Johnny was one of the first people to walk over and say hi back when I started racing. In the early days we traveled and raced together. My fondest memory was at an IHRA Race locally. Johnny stayed at my house and at dinner, we joked that we would see each other in the final. Low and behold, we did. He was just as happy seeing his friends win and would always be the first to say Congrats!Johnny always achieved a lot with limited resources and typically was the first to help another racer in need. Johnny Williams never experienced a day in which he did not feel blessed!

The racing community has clearly lost one of the heart and souls of grass roots racing. Prayers and thoughts to Johnny's family whom he was so very proud of.

Godspeed my friend!

We will certainly miss Johnny driving the Cajun Nightmare, one of the coolest stockers of all time. Not only was Johnny always smiling, his quick wit and humor always had us smiling whenever we were around him.

RIP Johnny and our sincerest condolences to his family.

Johnny was always good for a laugh or two when he came to races I was at. I'll miss his Cajun demeanor. RIP.

So sad, such a great loss. The friendliest guy in racing, always smiling and glad to see you. If we're here to set an example, he set the best. Well done, Johnny. RIP.

Unhappy Re: Johnny Williams RIP

Very sad and tragic news. I have known Johnny as a friend and a customer for many years and was a pleasure to know . Always upbeat and positive no matter what the situation. We have talked recently in regards to his health, as we were both battling a common foe, although his was a lot more complex than mine. Johnny did what he always does and kept his problems to himself as not to burden anyone with what was going on with him personally and concentrating on being the positive guy he always was, always a helpful hand and a kind word for all. We will miss Johnny and pray for his family, who he loved dearly, at this sad time. RIP and God Speed brother!
