June 22, 2018
Johnny Clifford Loghry, known by his friends as Buddy, passed away Friday, June 22, 2018 due to injuries sustained in a motorcycle accident.
Buddy was born August 1, 1982, in Des Moines, Iowa to John and Laurenda. He graduated from Saydel High School in 2001 and was currently attending DMACC, working towards his diesel mechanic degree.

He was a friend to all and would always push you to do your best. In his free time, he loved riding his motorcycle. Above all, Buddy adored his daughter, Ellie Mae. She was his heart, his love, and his world.
Buddy is survived by his wife of three years, Alicia; three year old daughter, Ellie Mae; parents, John (Jeanne) Loghry and Laurenda (Scott) Mifflin; sisters, Billijo Anderson (Robert Childs) and Jessica Loghry; grandparents; nieces and nephews; and countless friends.

Alicia, Ellie Mae, and family I am so sorry to hear about Johnny. I am his WIOA Counselor. Johnny was a very pleasant client. He always did what he was supposed to without me having to nag him. He was always Johnny on the spot with turning in his papers to me. It saddens me that I will no longer answer my my phone and here him say, Hi Tam am Mae, how are you today with such a happy and cheerful voice. He did adore Ellie Mae. She was the love of his life. I will miss him too! Call me if you need anything at 725-3669. Bless you all!

So sorry to hear of your loss. GOD's word can comfort you during this difficult time. Knowing this was not GOD's plan for Buddy. Ecc.9:11; Isaiah 26:19; Psalms 37:11,29. We will see our loved ones again. Jesus promised those who do GOD's will, can live forever on a paradise earth.John 3:16. For more comfort go to jw.org.
