June 18, 1957 - November 4, 2022
Johnny Starling of Hohenwald passed from this life on Friday, November 4, 2022, at the age of 65.
Johnny was born on June 18, 1957, in Bluefield, West Virginia to Johnny Starling, Sr. and Betty Jo (Woodie) Starling. He eventually moved to Hohenwald where he met and married the love of his life, Kay (Kealhofer) Starling. They were married until her passing in 2018.
Johnny was an extremely hard worker and never sat still for a minute. He worked at DANA in Hohenwald until its closing and then began work with TDOT. After his retirement from there, he ran a full-time mowing service where he mowed many yards for people in Middle Tennessee. He loved the outdoors and spent many hours in the woods hunting and lots of time fishing with his buddies. Johnny loved watching football, but above all he was a dedicated Alabama fan until the very end. He yelled "Roll Tide" until his last breath.
He is survived by his son, Klint Starling of Birmingham, Alabama, and his brother-in-law, Kent Kealhofer of Palm Springs, California.
His mother and his wife, Kay Starling, preceded him in death.
Graveside services were held on Monday, November 7, in the Swiss Cemetery.
McDonald Funeral Home in Hohenwald assisted the family with arrangements.
