Wiley on June 24, 1966 in Gonzales. Johnnie was a member of Memorial Heights Baptist Church and the Gonzales VFW Post 4817.

Johnnie grew up in Gonzales and graduated from Gonzales High School with the class of 1965. He worked in the oil fields after graduating, married his lifelong sweetheart Linda in 1966 and in 1967 he was drafted into the U.S. Army as an infantryman. Johnnie served his country faithfully in the midst of the Vietnam War and was honorably discharged from the regular Army in 1969.

He returned to Gonzales and went into law enforcement, working as a patrolman for the Gonzales Police Department. Johnnie took his interests in law enforcement to Luling where he served as assistant chief.
