Johnny Lewis Mancil entered the presence of his Savior, Wednesday, August 30, 2023, at MD Anderson
Cancer Center in Houston, TX, where he had received treatment for the last five years.
Johnny was born on February 13, 1974 to Wallace and Edith Mancil in Deridder, LA. First and foremost,
Johnny was a Christian. He was a wonderful husband and father to his family. Johnny was a quiet spirit who
lived out his faith boldly. Johnny was truly a reflection of his Savior, consistently displaying the fruits of the
Spirit. He loved his Savior and his neighbor. He was joyful amidst trials. He was peaceful in the storms of this
life and patient in all circumstances. Johnny was kind to all. He was faithful and self-controlled to the end and
displayed God's goodness as he served others before himself. His life was testimony to everyone who was
blessed to know him. Johnny worked for the Beauregard Waterworks Company District 3 after working for
The Department of Wildlife and Fisheries. Johnny was an avid outdoorsman who enjoyed hunting deer and
turkey and tending to his farm. He most enjoyed time spent with his wife Elisabeth, and their son, Jesse.
Johnny was a student of God's Word. He loved reading and teaching Scripture and sharing his faith with family
and friends. Johnny served as a Deacon and Sunday School Teacher at First Baptist Church Longville, where
he'd been a member for 19 years.
Preceding him in death are paternal grandparents Geneo Mancil and Jessie Lee Cloud Montgomery, and
maternal grandparents John Lincoln Stracener and Essie Mae Mayo Stracener.
