Johnny Ransom Jr., of Waco, Texas, went to be with His Lord and Savior Monday, December 14, 2020 at his home.
Johnny was born August 7th, 1948 in Wichita Falls, Texas to Mr. and Mrs. Johnny Ransom Sr. He was raised to be a man of God with a devout faith and love for His Savior with baseball and football in his heart. He tried out and walked on the field for the Astros and the Cincinnati Reds and made both to the 2nd and 3rd cuts consecutively. He moved to the DFW area in 1977. At the time he worked for Kmart Corporation and in February, 1980 he met the love of his life, Rose Marie Falcon. After six months of courtship, they married and on September 9th 2020 they celebrated their 40th wedding anniversary.
Anyone who knew Johnny probably knew him by John or JR. There was NO mistaking…John was the BIGGEST DIE-HARD Dallas Cowboys fan. Baseball and football were what John loved the most besides his family and George Jones.
He was survived by his wife, Rose Ransom; sons, David Dennis (Angela) her 3 boys Jaxon, Jagger & Jordan and Danny Ransom (Dana); grandchildren, Melanie Duncan (Trey John Duncan) and Jaiden Dennis; great-grandchildren, John Hunter Duncan and Keeton Duncan; Sister, Sandra Bennett (Doug); Brother, Steve Ransom; In-laws, Jose and Flora Aguilar; sisters-in-law, Lisa Falcon and Nelda Freeland (Jonathan); nephews, Ryan Beene (Alisha), William Freeland, Weston Freeland and Walker Freeland; great-niece, Brianna and great-nephew, Cayden Beene
