Obituary For Richard Johnson, Jr.

Richard Johnson Jr. Jay to many, Shakey to a few, passed suddenly December 6, 2024 in Bartow, FL

Jay was the strongest of men. He fought a great fight but eventually succumbing to years of illness and dialysis and heart break, his wife Kelly preceding him in death. Through his 45 years he always tried to be strong, loving and kind to all. He was always the jokester at a party or family event.

He is survived by his parents Louise and Richard Sr., sister Jenifer (Johnson) Parker, brother-in-law Randy, son Montrell and Jaay, daughter DJana, nephew Bryce, niece Sarae, and numerous cousins and friends.

We are SOOOO overwhelmed by the tributes that have come in for him and appreciate and love all of you.

Services will be held at Williams Funeral Home-Bartow, FL Saturday December 14, 2024. 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. 760 5th Avenue South, Bartow, FL 33830

I extend my heartfelt condolences to his children and family during this incredibly difficult time. 2 Corinthians 1:3-4 reminds us that God is our source of comfort and that He will be there for us in our troubles, enabling us to extend that same comfort to others. While we may not understand God's plan, we can take solace in knowing that Jay is no longer suffering. His life was a beautiful tapestry woven with laughter and unconditional love, and he truly was one of a kind. May you find peace and strength in the love he shared. 🙏❤️
