Johnny Winsett, age 44, passed away peacefully on September 4, 2026, surrounded by love. Although his time with us was far too short, the love, laughter, and memories he leaves behind will live on forever in the hearts of everyone who knew and loved him.

Johnny was a devoted husband, loving father, beloved stepfather, son, brother, uncle, and friend. To his wife, Melissa, he was so much more than a husband—he was her best friend, her person, her home, and the love of her life. Their life together was filled with love, laughter, difficult moments, beautiful memories, and a bond that will never be broken by death.

Johnny was a loving and devoted father and stepfather. His family was his heart, and he was incredibly proud to be a dad. He leaves behind his son Ayden Winsett and his stepson, Christian Monetti, whom he loved as his own. His love for his family will continue to live on through the memories they made together and through the people he loved most.

Johnny came from a big family, and there was never a shortage of personalities, stories, laughter, and love. He leaves behind his oldest sister, Bobbie Jo; his older brother, Jimmy Winsett and his wife, Jenn; his younger sisters, Angela Motley and Theresa Ross; and his youngest sister, Amy Collins and her wife, Leslie Collins. The bond between siblings brought countless memories, laughter, teasing, disagreements, and, most importantly, love. Johnny cared deeply for his family and was always protective of the people he loved.

Johnny had a personality that was impossible to forget. He had a wonderful sense of humor and loved making people laugh. His big smile could light up a room, and his unforgettable ability to roll his eyebrows became one of those little things everyone who knew him will always remember. He could turn an ordinary moment into something funny simply by being himself.

He also enjoyed spending time with his family and friends, playing video games, and spending time with his beloved pet dragon, Clyde. These simple moments were a part of the life and memories that made Johnny who he was.

Johnny bravely battled cancer, fighting with everything he had. His illness may have taken him from this world far too soon, but it will never define the man he was. Johnny was so much more than his illness. He was a husband, a father, a stepfather, a brother, a son, a friend, and a man who was deeply and truly loved.

His family finds comfort knowing that Johnny is now at peace and no longer hurting. While his absence leaves an unimaginable emptiness, his love will remain—carried in the hearts of his wife, his child, his stepson Christian, his family, and all those whose lives he touched.

Johnny’s life may have been far too short, but his impact will last forever.

He will be remembered for his smile, his laughter, his humor, his love for his family, and all the little things that made him uniquely Johnny.

To his wife, he will forever be her husband, her best friend, her home, and her forever love.

Johnny, you were loved more than you will ever know. We will miss you more than words could ever say. Until we meet again, my love.
