Interment:

On January 28, 2021 Johnny T. Stotts a.k.a., Shamrock Black, 34, took his own life, leaving this world in which he had so fiercely tried to remain.

There is a long line of needy/grateful birds, kittens, opossums, snakes, rats, and squirrels that survived and flourished due to his loving care. In addition, an even longer line of humans whom he kindly assisted in times of need.

Always willing and genuinely happy to help a friend or a friend not yet met (i.e. stranger), he had a wicked sense of humor, but never a single wicked intention. Like his great-grandfather, whose first name he bore, he made all those he loved feel the special place each held within his heart.

Survivors include you, dear Reader, as well as his Mother, Terri a.k.a. Hey, Lady, his Grandmother, Catherine, his Aunts Sue, Sharyn, and Ann, his Uncle Harry, his Cousins, Billy (Jen), Jesse, Travis (Dominique), Jada a.k.a. Poophead, and James, and Carol, Angel, Kayleigh, William, Celeste, Haiden, Delaney, and Tess to whom he will always and forever be their “Uncle Johnny”.

We may never know what was inside that took him away from us… but he did the best he could, until he couldn’t any longer. He never wanted to leave us; he just didn’t know how to stay.

To honor his memory, I respectfully request to please consider sharing a random act of kindness. Or maybe in true Stotts fashion… a feat of kindness. Thank you, my friends.
