Obituary For Johnnie Johnson

Mr. Johnnie Johnson was born to the late James Daniel Johnson and Ruby Jenkins on January 7, 1949, in Charleston, South Carolina.

Johnnie worked at Jack’s Fish Market for several years. He was an avid fisherman with a passion for the outdoors and being on the water . He enjoyed boating and fishing any chance he would get. Mr. Johnnie, or more commonly known as “Pops” , passed away peacefully on August 9, 2023.

Johnnie lived loving his community, family, and the life as a good example to others who surrounded him.
