Johnny graduated from Batesville High School in 1966 and went on to have a well-rounded college experience, attending the University of Arkansas, Arkansas State University, and others. He was a lover of music - you could name any song from the 1960s and Johnny would know the artist and lyrics. 1960s rock n’ roll were his favorites. Johnny loved classic movies and old TV shows such as Gun Smoke and Bonanza. He appreciated good food and loved to eat. He was fond of travelling and especially enjoyed travelling to visit friends. Johnny attended Cathedral Baptist Church in Jonesboro and was a great admirer of Brother Doug and even listened to sermons on the radio as his health declined.

Johnny is preceded in death by his parents, John and Marian Milum.

Johnny is survived by his loving wife of 25 years, Margaret Milum of Jonesboro. Other survivors include his two brothers, William Milum of Jonesboro, James Milum of Batesville and his sister, Rebecca Milum Richman of Batesville.
