Johnie Winnett Obituary

I served with Johnie in the National Guard since 1988 and also worked with him at the MATES 64 where he was a mechanic until he retired. I stayed in contact with Johnie for several years then we fell off with communication I guess. I had heard of Johnies passing a year after it happened and could not understand why nobody contacted us at MATES or the National Guard. Johnie was a good friend and an excellant mechanic and I greatly miss him. From all of us at MATES which I am the only one left here that new Johnie we salute you for all you have done for us.

Your friendship and kindness will be missed dearly my friend.

Thank you for bringing a smile to my face each and every day.

It's Friday my friend, enjoy the weekend.

God Bless!

Why did you have to go so soon? It was not fare. I know you are in a better place now!

It is different coming in to the building I’m waiting for John to come out and with his big smile say, “Well hello Helen what are you doing here again”? “ Get back to work “!!!! I’m never going to forget John. God Bless him and his family.

John was a nice person, always saying "Good Morning". He was friendly and helpful to everyone.

I miss when John always say "Good morning, Linda" whenever I entered the building to come in to work.

He was very kind and will be always remembered in our heart.

John,



I never had a chance to tell you how special you were to me and a lot of people here at Wells Fargo. Your bright smile, sense of humor and calming nature will be missed. You will forever have a place in my heart!!



May God Bless John's family. I just want you to know how special he was and how he touched all of our lives. He will never be forgotton and will be truely be missed.

Thank you for all that you gave while you were on earth.

John would always greet me with a smile and good morning or hello. He helped brighten the start of every day. He is missed by all.

John was just an all around great guy. He always greated me in the morning and I would often speak with him throughout the day. As I am saddened by his passing I know he is in better place so my prayer is for his family to seek out Jesus as the ultimate comforter in this time of grieving.

John touched all of our lives here at Wells Fago and will be greatly missed. I enjoyed the time I was able to spend with him on breaks talking about different things. It is still hard to come in and not hear his voice with a friendly greeting first thing in the morning.

From one former soldier to another...

- My friend, you'll be missed

It was a pleasure to know John. Every day he was there to great me by name. He took the time to get to know me and I always felt he was there to look out for me. He would let me know if my tires were low or if my windows were down and it was about to rain. He made everyone here feel that way. I know how much he loved his family and my prayers go out to you all. It was an honor to have known him!

Whenever I came into the office I could count on a greeting from John, who always had a smile on his face. If we had an event or lunch with candy or dessert leftover I always made sure to let John know since he did have a sweet tooth! I will miss his warm presence in our office every time I come in.

It was a truly a pleasure and honor to have Johnie as a friend. Spending many breaks together talking about motorcycles and the military, gave me a greater understanding of what a wonderful man Johnie was. He will always be remembered. May the Lord Bless and keep his family safe.

To The Winnett Family,



I am so terribly sorry for your loss. I had the honor of knowing John for quite awhile. He was a true dear friend to me. Always checking on me during the day. He was so proud of his family and always had pictures to show. He had a great smile and a wonderful attitude, which rubbed off on everyone he came in contact with. I will miss him so and I will always remember what a wonderful, kind, generous person John was to all of us. May God bless the Winnett Family.

Some mornings one goes, here we go again another day. There at the door to greet you by name was John. It could just change your whole outlook on the day. He also had a great sense of humor. We will miss him. May God be with all of his family through this difficult time!

I was very sad to hear the news that John had left us. He will be missed tremendously. He was a kind man and always had kind words to say. My thoughts and prayers are with his family. God Bless

I didn't know John that well, but I do know that every morning he used to greet me with a cheefull "Good Morning". This would set the tone of my whole day, and now it's just not the same anymore. God bless and keep his loved ones.

-To Johns' Family

To the Winnett Family:



I worked with Johnie for 2 years and we had the opportunity to talk often. He was very proud of his children and often talked of your great accomplishments. He loved his wife very much and talked of how wonderful it was that you were so close and compatible. I just want you to know that it was such a pleasure and honor to know Johnie. I will have you in my thoughts and prayers. May God bless you and keep you in his hands.

John has been a very special to me for the past 3 years, he has been there to greet me and every one else each day as we come in to work! Always a pot of coffee ready to go for us too! I will truly miss his friendly greeting and his smile not to mention all the conversation we have had even the times he would tease me about how I would not always back in to the parking spot just perfectly straight. John has been a terrific friend, I will miss him being here! I am glad I've had the opertunity to have known you! John you will always be remembered/not forgotten!

I will miss John very much. Even though he didn't work for us he was a part of our facilities family. I spent a lot of time talking with him about his life and his family. He really loved his life. He always had a good joke to fit just about any situation and bring a smile to anyones face. I learned allot from him on our breaks or when he would stop by at my door to chat on his rounds. He was a great friend to me and really helped me through some tougn times of my own with his stories and his smile. You will be very missed my friend.

Walking into the door at work and John telling us good morning and his smile was a great way to start our day. He kept a eye on everything and we all felt better when he was here. He will be much missed.

May you have comfort in family and memories.

MY THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS ARE WITH YOU IN THIS TIME OF SADNESS. JOHN WAS A GREAT MAN AND FRIEND. HE WILL BE MISSED EVERY MORNING WHEN I WALK IN THIS BUILDING & EVERY NIGHT WHEN I LEAVE. TO NOT SEE THAT BRIGHT RED TRUCK IN THE END SPOT, IS VERY HARD TO GET USE TO. I AM GOING TO MISS HIM VERY MUCH HE WAS JUST LIKE FAMILY. HE IS STILL WATCHING OVER US EVERYDAY.

John you will be missed greatly. I'll miss your smile, sweet disposition & your "Have a good one" to start my lunch with everyday. No doubt you are adding sunshine to a better world.

It was my privilege to know John. What a kind person he was.

I miss John's greeting everyday when I come into work. He had a humorous spirit and a little sarcasm too! That was my favorite! It's not the same without him.

My God Keep You. Also please comfort those left behind. I'll miss the quiet "doing good" John would state when asked "how you doing?" every morning no matter which morning.

I will greatly miss hearing John say good morning and seeing his smile. Sometimes we take for granted the blessing someing is in our lives even somethng as small as a "Good Morning Or Have a good evening .John you will greatly missed. Lou Ann Abeyta

John's smile and good morning will dearly be missed by all. I always looked forward to his "It's almost Friday." or "We are almost there." God Bless and be with his family. We miss you.

I am really going to miss Johnie, he always had a smile for me every morning. He was a very nice person, I am glad I got to know him. My prayers are with his family and friends. Maria Miranda

I worked with John for over a year. He always had a smile on his face. We shared jokes and laughter and stories of our families. He will be greatly missed, and our thoughts and prayers go out to his family.

It was a priviledge to know John.

To the Winnett Family:



I come to you with deep regret and sorrow for you personal loss. To the children of John I understand the loss of a father. In time you will understand that he is more with you now than he could have ever been with you on earth. I know it is not much comfort now but in time it will be. For that is all we have....All of us here at Wells Fargo loved John. Walking into work will never be the same for any of us here again. It is now 10:00am and we can't be with you to celebrate his life. But, we are with you in spirit and we were all very lucky to have known this warm, gentle and kind man. To the wife of John...My prayers will be with you always...

To John's family and friends:

Please know that John is deeply missed by all of us at Wells Fargo. The days just aren't the same and seem some what empty with out his cheerful smile to greet you in the mornings and to wish you well in the evenings.

John was not just a security gaurd...he was a friend!

My prayers and condolences to John's family. He was truly a great person. I remember when I was a temp, he would call and let me know when my check was in, instead of having to go up front and check on it. He always Had a smile and a "good morning" for you. He will be truly missed. But he will be looking down on us all from a better place.

I will miss John's friendly smile and greeting every morning. He never complained. Always ready to cheer up anyone. May God bless and comfort his family at this time of their loss.

I will really miss John's way about him that would make me happy even in the earliest hours of the morning. My love and prayers go out to his family.

John was the man and in the morning we all looked forward to seeing him. He will be missed greatly. God Bless his family and friends

John was always there to greet everyone in the building. It is not the same every morning without him. We will miss him greatly.

I will miss Johns smiling face every morning at 6:30 am. He would always say (how ya doin ) and at the end of the day he would say (see ya tomorrow ) My prayers to the family. We can't put a question mark where God has put a period. May God comfort your hearts in the days to come.

I will miss you very much. My mornings aren't going to be the same with out your smiling face and your warm welcomes to work. You started off my work day on such a good note. You will be thought of always.

John was definitely a great friend worth having who cared for our safety and whose smile each morning will be dearly missed!

John always had a smile and a welcome for each of us as we came and went -- he will be missed. Our prayers and thoughts to his family and friends.

John~

It will never be the same walking through that Front door every morning. Your never ending smile will always be remembered. You will forever be remembered by so many people at Wells Fargo for the way that you touched our lives so dearly.

God bless you!!!! We will miss you and we love you!!!!
