Johnny married the love of his life Katerra “Terry” (Yarbrough) Cosby in Gainsville, Texas on December 2, 1966. Together they raised four children: Donny, Beth, Bobby, and Karen. They had a wonderful fifty-one years full of love and adventure. Johnny had many interest and hobbies that he enjoyed spending his down time on. His greatest treasure in life was his family. He enjoyed getting to spend every moment that he could with them; Holidays being his favorite. His second enjoyment in life was getting to take his bass boat out on the water and catch him some fish. If he wasn’t on the boat he could often be found on the lawn mower getting his yard just right or giving the grands a ride. He enjoyed being able to fix old cars and pickups. The sound of Gospel and Blue Grass music always brought a smile to his face. Johnny was a wonderful person, he loved being able to help anyone he could, and he enjoyed getting to love his family.
