On July 24, 2020 we lost our hero Johnny Dannul Cordova Sr. to leukemia and Covid-19. On October 26, 1967 Johnny was born to David and Lilly Cordova. Johnny grew up on the west side of Salt Lake City, Utah, he attended West High School and S.L.C.C. later becoming a skilled carpenter. Johnny was proud of his work building SLC landmarks like the Maverick Center project, Delta Center project, and the LDS Conference Center project. Johnny was a very private person; those who were close to him knew how big his heart was. Achieving his goal of a large family Johnny loved to be surrounded by his children and grandchildren. He taught his kids to love and care for his families to put their needs before our own. To live and forget when it came to each other, to take the life skills and love he taught us and teach it to anyone willing to listen.
