RIP John

[CaptainKyle]

Well just got word that my friend John passed away. I have only know him for a couple years but he was a stand up strait forward kind of guy. I have known his girlfriend for many years & she helped me out a lot when my Ex died. I just spent an hour on the phone with her. I had a rough time talking with her as it brought back a lot of memories. R.I.P John you will be missed.

A TX boy? Did he ride? Bad health or what took him, he looks young still.

He was a FLorida boy actually had a house in your neck of the woods but stayed here most of the time. He was only 51 had some medical problems but did not think it was this bad. He had a custom built HD trike. He had a bad legg from an accident a while ago. he had just had surgery on his legg again about 1&1/2 ago

 

[PATMAX]

Dang, at 51. We never know the length of days we're on this earth but we do have some control over what we do with the days we got.
Live, ride and love everyday all.

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.
