MR. JOHNNY HOWARD FEGGINS, the last of the children born to the late Ben Sr. and Merlissa Revis Feggins was born August 31, 1944 in Mecklenburg County, Virginia and departed this life August 28, 2019 in The Hundley Center, South Hill, VA.

In his spare time Johnny enjoyed visiting with family and friends and sitting at the door of Browns Auto Service Center, greeting you, telling you come on in, he’ll see you next.

Johnny was a great man. I have known him many years from him coming to the South Hill Texaco where he use to come and talk to my husband Kelly Brown. Kelly thought the world of him. Maybe they are up in heaven fishing now and catching up. Rest in peace Mr. Johnny all of us will miss you and I will miss you at the door when I go by the garage and you not there.
