Johnnie's working career began with Con-Agra in which he dedicated eighteen years of service.  He then took a position with CVA in Houston, TX before and most recently working for Lott Oil as a mechanic for the last eight years until health challenges interrupted his ability to work. His contributions extended beyond his professional pursuits; he was known for his willingness to help anyone in need, embodying his true sense of generosity

Johnnie is survived by his daughters, Lori Nugent and her husband William, and Brookley Sharp and her husband Matthew. He cherished his role as a grandfather to his grandchildren, Kinley Nugent, Rylin Nugent, Gage Hicks, Emmy Sharp, Annie Sharp, and Trace Sharp. His close bond with family also included his sister, Sharon LaGrone, and his nephew Jeff Sandidge and his wife Stacy.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Claude and Emma Marie McEntire Beeson, and his brother-in-law, Billy LaGrone. Their memories live on in the hearts of those who knew and loved Johnnie, as he leaves a legacy of love and support.
