Diane Borges-Mac Lennan
Johnny Raye Mullins, 51 of Dunedin and North Fort Myers, Florida began his journey on the silent highway, in the wind, on May 23, 2012. Born in Cincinnati, Ohio, on July 21, 1960 to Esther Gum
and John Mullins, he spent his youth in Cincinnati and on the family farm in Kentucky. He left for the Marines after high-school graduation....and served the United States for 11 years, coming home with an honorable discharge. He spent many years as an over-the-road truck driver...and moved from Cincinnati to Florida in 1998. Prior to retiring, he was a Crane Operator in Fort Myers, Florida.
John's life was full of many activities and never had a dull moment: motorcycles, animals, veterans, construction, projecting around the house, the beach, fishing, boating, wildlife, marksman, bar-b-q "ing", were some of his many interests... and always made time to for his friends and family. He always wanted to get his pilots license...but was happy parachuting out of planes as a Marine.
John was known for his genuine, true, and honest approach to life. His heart of gold enabled him to always be there for anyone in their time of need. His care,concern, and compassion for his family and friends spoke volumes, and was noticed by all of those around him.
John was pre-deceased by his parents, and siblings: brother, Aljean "Snuffy" Smith; sister, Glennasue "Sue" Smith Hemsath; and his "2nd" mother Lida "Chickie" Sutherland, all from Cincinnati, Ohio.
Survivors include his soulmate, Diane MacLennan, of Dunedin, Florida, and her girls.....siblings: brothers - Donald and Denny Smith, sister - Kathy Mullins Toles and their spouses and families, of Cincinnati, Ohio, and sister Mischele Layne Cole and her family of Fort Myers, Florida. His estranged wife Virginia Mays Mullins resides in Cincinnati, Ohio along with her 2 children Tracey and Robert, and their families. John's extended "family" also included several friends in Ohio and Florida.
