Johnnie served his country proudly in the United States Marine Corp during Korea. While enlisted he earned the National Defense Service Medal, Korean Service Medal and United Nations Service Medal.

Sanders Jr and wife Janice, Leroy Sanders, Brenda Butler and George Sanders, 17 grandkids, 38 great grandkids, and 4 great-great-grandkids. Daughter-in-law; Rogina Sanders, two special caregivers; great-granddaughter; Ashton Thirsty, and Kathy Catron, five brothers; four sisters, nieces, nephews, other relatives and many friends also survive him.
