Junior Johnson, 92, Green County, KY George Johnson Jr. was born on March 28, 1934 in Green County, KY to the late Willie Clarence Johnson and Rosie Taylor Johnson. He departed this life Friday, May 1, 2026, having attained the age of 92 years, 1 month and 3 days. Junior made a profession of faith in Christ at an early age. He served faithfully at Pleasant Hill Baptist Church, actively singing in the Men's Choir. He knew who Christ was to him and lived by that throughout his entire life. He would always say, "God has been good to me. Yes, God has been good to me. He has blessed me all these years because I treated people right." At an early age, he worked on a farm, which instilled a strong work ethic in him. He later worked for the Kentucky State Highway Department and retired after many years of service. All the while, he operated a lawn care service that he provided to his home church, other churches, and the community. To know him was truly a blessing. If he saw you, you would always be greeted with a smile and conversation, always spreading the word of how good God has been. He also loved dressing to impress every day and always stayed sharp. His daily routine often consisted of going to Walmart, where he would talk with people sitting in the everyday meeting spot or with people passing by while shopping, becoming a familiar face to many. He loved going to church. He enjoyed listening to the band. He enjoyed spending time with his family. He especially loved Golden Corral. He leaves to cherish his memory, his Goddaughter, Christy Davis of Louisville, Kentucky and her three children; along with a host of nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends. He was preceded in death by his wife Lula Belle Owen Johnson, mother and father Willie Clarence Johnson and Rosie Ann Taylor Johnson, 4 brothers: Charlie, Roy, Otha and Clarence Johnson, 2 sisters: Mary Bell Baker and Margaret Anderson and a special friend: Doris Bridgewater.
