It is with great sorrow and heartbreak, that we lost our beloved "WildChild" Johnny Horta at age 81 of Globe, Arizona. He takes our heart with him.

He was our leader and great husband, father, brother, Tata, and great tata. If you got to know him and be in his life then you were loved and were put in a special place in his heart. He leaves his legacy of living his life as a true free spirit and living his life exactly how he wanted. WildChild will be remembered for his jokes, the way he dressed, his crazy hair and all the fun he had messing with people and poking everyone.
