Johnny Sensing

Mr. Johnny Sensing, age 68, of Big Rock, Tennessee, passed away peacefully at his home on Saturday, June 6, 2026, surrounded by his loving family. He was born on August 6, 1957, in Montgomery County, Tennessee, the son of the late Roy Sensing and Erlene Austin Proctor.

Johnny dedicated much of his life to serving others. A respected public servant, he served for 17 years as a Lieutenant with Clarksville Fire Rescue and volunteered with the Montgomery County Rescue Squad, always answering the call to help those in need. In addition to his public service, Johnny owned and operated a successful drywall business for more than 30 years, earning the trust and respect of countless customers through his hard work, integrity, and craftsmanship.

He was a member of First Baptist Church in Clarksville. Johnny had a passion for the outdoors and especially enjoyed rabbit hunting, bass fishing, and raising beagles. Known for his warm heart and friendly nature, Johnny never hesitated to lend a helping hand to a stranger or a neighbor. He was an exceptional cook who loved bringing family and friends together around the table. Generous to a fault, he quietly supported numerous charitable causes throughout the years and found great joy in making children smile during the holidays, often dressing as a special guest to deliver gifts and spread Christmas cheer. His kindness, selflessness, and unwavering love for others will be remembered by all who knew him.

In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his sister, Linda Phillips.

Johnny is survived by his beloved wife of 40 years, Sandra Sensing; his children, Carrie West (Ben) and Johnathon Sensing (Marie); his grandchildren, Dylan Snyder, Ayden West, and Mason Sensing; and his siblings, Roger Sensing, Rose Hillcrest, Debbie Sensing, and Margaret Anderson.
