Mr. Ronnie B. Johnson, Sr., son of the late James Pete and Thelma Johnson, was born on August 27, 1945, in Harris County, GA. On August 28, 2021, a chariot of angels came to the Well-Star West Georgia Medical Center, LaGrange, GA and carried him home to his eternal place of resting.
Ronnie, known by many as, “Stank”, attended the public schools of Harris County and immediately following his attendance, he went into construction work with Rev. O.C. and Michael Stiggers. They mentored Ronnie and also assisted with the purchase of his first car. Ronnie transported the neighborhood children to school with his new pride and joy. He was well-known for his carpentry skills.
He was an all-round outdoorsman, taking any opportunity to work and have recreation in the sun.
Ronnie professed his faith in Jesus Christ and was baptized into Mount Nebo Baptist Church, West Point, GA, where he served faithfully on the Deacon Board and took great pride in manicuring the church grounds.
