Johnny Lynn Ford, 64, passed away on October 11, 2026, in Hutchinson, KS. He was born on August 12, 1962, to Charles Kerr and Ruth Ford.

In 1983, Johnny married Martha Valencia. Although their marriage later ended in divorce, they shared a chapter of life that brought family and lasting memories.

Throughout his lifetime, Johnny held many different jobs and was known for his strong work ethic. Of all the jobs he held, he especially enjoyed his time working as an equipment operator at APAC Shears. He took pride in his work and enjoyed operating heavy equipment.

Johnny was a man who appreciated the simple pleasures in life. He loved spending time with his family, enjoying a cold Bud Light, and having his beloved dog, Chester, by his side. Whether sharing stories, laughter, or simply enjoying the company of those around him, Johnny lived life in his own way. His love for his family and the memories they shared will forever hold a special place in their hearts.

Johnny is survived by his four children, Shannon Gray (Wardell), Juan Ford, Charles Ford, and Brandon Ford; nine grandchildren, Devon Spiller, D'Angelo Gray, Gia Gray, Sydney Ford, Diego Ford, Elina Ford, Karson Etienne, Ophelia Ford, and Athena Calaoagan.
