Johnny Lee Sutherland, 70, of Sherman, Texas, passed away on December 17, 2024. Born on July 22, 1954, to Wanda and Bobby Sutherland, Johnny lived a life defined by hard work, kindness, and service to others.

He was a devoted husband to Sherry Sutherland and a loving father to Johnny Ray, Stephanie Nell, Tommy Andrew, and Amanda Rae. Johnny's dedication to his family was matched only by his tireless work ethic. Even in his final days, he was out mowing yards and cleaning up limbs for his customers—a testament to his commitment and the pride he took in running Johnny's Lawn Service, a name countless people depended on for years.
