John "Johnny" Thomas Donley Jr., 38, rode off to Heaven to be with the Lord on Friday, March 27th, 2026. He was born in Fort Wayne, IN, to John and Vicki Donley.
Johnny was a passionate motorcyclist from the age of five, finding his peace and truest joy on the winding roads with the wind in his hair. He lived life on his own terms and passed away doing what he loved best. With a kind heart, a love for dogs and children, and a strong Christian faith, Johnny served God and others, leaving a legacy of love and freedom.
Johnny is survived by his daughter, Lillian Ruth Donley; brother, Shane (Jessica) Pender; nieces Neveah and NovaLee Pender; sister, Audrey (Matthew) Andersen; nieces Juliana Arias and Rosemary Andersen, and nephew Joseph Andersen; parents, John and Vicki Donley; and a community of friends.
A Celebration of Life will be held on Saturday, April 18th, 2026, at Northridge Baptist Church (1300 East Cook Rd, Ft Wayne). Calling begins at 10:00 am, followed by the service at 11:00 am. In honor of Johnny's love for children, memorial donations may be given to Riley Children's Hospital.
