I just heard about the passing of Rev. Johnson. It sadden me to hear the news. With him being in the ministry with my dad, and also even pastoring at the same church, I've know him most of my life. Rev. Johnson would also keep me in line after my dad died, as I was only a teenager at the time (he knew all about raising girls), and we were neighbors. I didn't appreciate it until I got older. He would go down the street and check on my mom when she was sick. After I moved to Atlanta, my mom and sister would tell me about his visits, and the fresh vegetables he would bring. He always kept me laughing. Your family is in my prayers.

Prayerfully,

Rev. Johnson, It is with heartfelt sadness that I write this. For the past 32 years you have been like a father, friend, and mentor to me. Consequently, it was a great honor to have you and Mrs. Johnson as God-parents for our son, Marvin, who is now 19 years old. Throughout the years, we have fellowshipped with you and your family. These are memories that I will cherish every day. I will miss you as you have always been a cornerstone for me to lean on. Also, since 2005 when my father passed, you were more like a father to me. Even though you are gone, I believe that one day we will meet again in this journey. Loving you, always, Sam Lowery and family. Missing you....
