It saddens me to notify loved ones that Johnny Richard Eszlinger left this mortal world on July 6, 2023 at the young age of 48 years old, due to a long battle with colon cancer. He was born October 8, 1974, in Sacramento, California to Johnny Eszlinger & Diane Finke. Johnny was one of the most selfless people you could ever know. He would give the shirt off his back to anyone in need (literally) and would also give his fast food pick up order to a stranger on the street. He was always looking for ways to help someone in need and would offer whatever was needed without hesitation. Johnny was always the life of the party and would have everyone (including strangers) laughing hysterically. He missed his calling in life as he would have been a successful stand-up comedian. Johnny was always looking for the next big invention and would never give up by working tirelessly, full of hope for future success. Life will never be the same without you, Johnny! Say hello to Kevin and Mom for me! Until we meet again, I will hold onto so many wonderful memories with you and mom! I love you forever! Johnny is survived by his son Jonathan Nicholas Eszlinger, sister Lisa Marie Howard, siblings - Johnny Duane Eszlinger (Brenda), Dale Wayne Eszlinger, Tina Diane Whiteman (Mike), Johnny Allen Eszlinger (Rebecca). He is preceded in death by his parents, brother-in-law Kevin Howard, sister Donna Mae Lacey
