Johnnie Ray Moran, age 71, passed away peacefully at his home in Denham Springs, LA. Mr. Johnnie grew up and went to high school in Flora, LA, but was a longtime resident of Denham Springs.

Mr. Johnnie was preceded in death by his parents Thomas Moran and Olivia Denton; a brother: Don Moran; one sister: Renee Dowden; and a brother-in-law: Bobby Alost.

The family wants to extend their heartfelt gratitude to the nurses, aids, and support staff at Clarity Hospice.
