Johnathan Fleming was laid to rest on Tuesday 4/14/2026, and I want to sincerely thank everyone who showed up, reached out, and stood with our family.

The number of people who came to honor him speaks volumes about the kind of man he was. Johnny left an impact—through his presence, his stories, and the way he made people feel.

Now that the service is behind us, we step into the part that’s not always seen—but matters just as much.

There are still expenses that need to be taken care of—including funeral services, his headstone, and other final expenses—along with supporting Tiffany and the girls as they begin navigating life without Johnny.

And right now… that support matters.

His oldest daughter is approaching her high school graduation in the coming weeks—a milestone that will carry both pride and the weight of missing her dad.

So I’m asking—plain and simple—

If Johnny ever made you laugh, stood beside you, shared time with you, or left an impression on your life… this is an opportunity to show up for his family.

Right now is when it matters most.

We’ve set up a GoFundMe for those who prefer that route, and also a Venmo option for quick and easy giving:

👉 GoFundMe: https://gofund.me/b249f60de
👉 Venmo:

Goal: $15,000–$20,000

Every dollar will go toward:
• Final expenses, services, and headstone
• Supporting Tiffany and the girls during this transition

If you’re not in a position to give, sharing this post is just as meaningful and appreciated.

Let’s come together and support his family the same way so many came together to honor his life.

Our beloved Johnny Fleming was laid to rest Tuesday, April 14th. I want to sincere… Chris Fleming needs your support for Honoring Johnny by Helping His Family
