Junior, my heart is heavy and broken, but I realize that all our days are numbered by the Lord; and that final day of our life we don’t know. You lived a life of caring for your family, immediate and extended. I will remember your laughter, your swag, and your cool dress. I will also remember how hard you’ve always worked at keeping those yards manicured! May you rest in peace now from all your labor! You are gone but will never be forgotten. May God bless, keep and comfort the family. We love you.
My condolences to the Johnson family and the sister of henry he would see me walking pass his mother,house and would stop me and we both would just love talking about the old days and times, on holidays he would ask me to come around to get something to eat because his mother could cook and bake ,so I would go and get me something even if was just a slice of sweet potato pie and Henry would say Yvette you better hurry up and get back around that corner and before I could get up the street their was my grandfather coming to meet me but back than it wasn’t so dangerous like it is now and I was family to them like another sister ,because when summer came he had a cousin that I was friends to she would visit them every summer and I still remember her name Barbra ,but the only thing I can say for my brother Henry get your rest because you have did your very best on this earth now you will see your mother father and sister in heavenly home ,may God bless the family of Henry ,my deepest sympathy I will see you resurrection time 🙏🏿🙏🏿
To be absent from the body, is to be present with the Lord. Your family has my deepest condolences and will continue to be in my prayers. I will always remember your smile, tone, and emphasis on taking care of one another when it comes to family and friends. You had your rules, and they were rarely bent. You did not play at all when my bestie was on punishment and her phone privileges were taken—or when she couldn’t talk until after 7pm (IYKYK), as well as, being on top of behavior and academics throughout her scholastic journey. I knew you meant business. From my many visits to the house—you would make sure the cars were always kept nice and clean, you would wear this leather vest from time to time that always made us laugh because we knew a good time was being had, and the passion you had for landscaping will remain in my memories of fun times. I know you will continue to look over your family and friends, as they hold tight to their memories and love for you. Rest easy Mr. Johnson.
My sincere condolences and prayers.
Condolences to the Johnson family.
Mista Johnson, thank you for letting three hormonal teenage girls take over your home—and making us feel safe, loved, and cared for while we figured life out. We watched you protect the people you loved and show us what it meant for a man to provide and stand strong. Your love was tough, but so is the world.
And thanks to you, I can officially tell the difference between someone who just cuts my grass and someone who cares for my lawn!
Your height may have been small, but your presence was HUGE and never missed. I’ll always remember that smile, that firm tone, and hearing you say, “I’ma roll out!”
Rest in peace. Gone too soon.
