Mr. Johnny Atcheson

September 29, 1954 - September 2, 2016

Johnny Atcheson was born on September 29, 1954 to Jessie and Floye Atcheson in Marshall, Texas. He passed away peacefully on Friday September 2, 2016. Funeral: 2 pm Friday at Guardian Funeral Home Chapel. The family will receive visitors from noon until 2 pm at Guardian Funeral Home in Fort Worth. Johnny joined the Marine Corp at seventeen years old and retired after 20 years of honorable service. When he came home he made his living driving trucks, he had always thought driving 18 wheelers was something he would enjoy. In his spare time he enjoyed golfing and was a master at Candy Crush, moving up into the highest levels possible and always able to help out others when they were stuck on a level. Johnny was a Dallas Cowboys fan and he was also their biggest critic. He may have given the impression of a tough guy but once you got to know him, he was in reality quite the opposite. His family will remember him as a devoted husband, father and grandfather; he was one of a kind and will be missed dearly. Those left to celebrate Johnny’s life include his wife of 43 years, Shirley; children, Cheri Nye and husband Chuck, Joni Losoya, Johnny Atcheson Jr and wife Megan; grandchildren, Caleb Nye, Michael Losoya, Alysia Losoya, Emily Losoya; siblings, Virginia Haffelder and husband Dan, Debbie Armstrong and husband Raymond, Walter Atcheson and wife Mary; father, Jessie James Atcheson and Lea Breazlae; along with many extended family and dear friends.
