Johnny Montgomery

Mr. Johnny T. Montgomery was born on January 11, 1958, in Anniston, Alabama to the late Willienelle Montgomery and Mose Gray. Johnny accepted Christ as his Lord and Savior at an early age. Because of his unwavering faith, Johnny was a praying man and was always willing to help others. Johnny, affectionately known as "JT", received his education in the Anniston City School system where he graduated from Anniston High School with the Class of 1976. After high school, he enlisted in the United States Navy. Along life's journey, Johnny met and married the love of his life, Twana English Montgomery. Together, they were fortunate to share their love with four children. Johnny's family was the center of his world. His love for them knew no bounds. He was a loving husband and a devoted father. He was a quiet, peaceful soul with a sharp mind and a stern yet loving demeanor. In his free time, JT enjoyed watching westerns and challenging his mind with episodes of Jeopardy. He had a special connection with his Trade Day customers, always going the extra mile to ensure they felt welcomed and appreciated. On Friday, August 16, 2024, Johnny heard the voice of the Lord say: "Well done my child, you have fought a good fight and finished your course." He is preceded in death by his daughter, Tiffany English; parents, Willienelle Montgomery and Mose Gray; sister, Debra Montgomery; brothers, Duran Montgomery and Jerry Montgomery; and grandmother, Nanny Montgomery. Left to cherish his memory is his loving wife, Twana Montgomery; daughter, Wilinikita Montgomery of Lincoln, AL; sons, Antidreo English of Anniston, AL and Keiuntae Montgomery of Huntsville, AL; granddaughter, JaKailynn Carter; grandsons, JaMarriea Ackey of Anniston, AL; KeShaun Hudson of Lincoln, AL, and JaKari Montgomery of Huntsville, AL; sisters, Carolyn Mims of Anniston, AL and Rosa Nell Montgomery of Anniston, AL; brother, James Montgomery of Anniston, AL; best friend, Tora (Paula Bush) Scott of Anniston, AL; and a host of other family members and friends.
