Mr. Wyche was born on September 22, 1961 to the late Johnny L. Wyche, Sr. and Margaret Sue Nesmith Wyche in Meridian, Mississippi. He is preceded in death by his parents.

Johnny loved music and pursued it through college and seminary. He was most happy as he led the church choir into anthems of Praise to his Lord and Savior. He has lead choirs in many churches in Alabama and Mississippi over 40+ years. He loved his family unconditionally which his church family was always included. He truly believed that God came first and then family and lived his life that way. He love his secular job as well. He didn’t mind working and loved the cabinet shop, you could hear him telling of the adventures Lucy or Maggie often. His daughter and grandchildren were always on his mind and he always would tell anyone who would listen about their accomplishments or show videos of their games or violin recitals. He was so very proud of each one! He was a quiet and gentle man with so much love that he always had a smile even when things weren’t always good. His love for Connie superseded all else. He always referred to her as “His free entertainment.” Because he could count on her to lighten his load by a laugh or two. His greatest accomplishment was his personal relationship with Jesus Christ. So please let his life speak of Christ and the salvation that is so freely offered and join him today as a child of God! Johnny is in Heaven waiting for us to join his heavenly choir of continuous praise.

Johnny will definitely be missed on earth, yet now he is singing with the angels of heaven awaiting our uniting again.
