John Wesley Johnson

October 21, 2018

John Wesley Johnson was born January 9, 1946, in Escambia County, Florida. He peacefully passed away surrounded by family Thursday, October 18, 2018, after a lengthy battle with cancer.

He is survived by his wife, Sharon Scull Johnson;  daughter, Crystal L. Johnson Lampert (Travis); brother, Charlie Johnson (Wanda), brother, Danny Johnson (Joanne) and many extended family members.

He is predeceased by his mother Laura “Leatha”; father, Charles; and brother, Ted.

John graduated from Pensacola High School in Pensacola, FL. He served in the Army National Guard as a Paratrooper and assisted with hurricane relief efforts. After his honorable discharge he entered the carpentry field, building many hotels for Disney and eventually owning his own business. For the last 18 years of his career he served as the lead kitchen designer for Home Depot where he made some wonderful friendships. He took great pride in his work and his last kitchen design was a remodel for his wife.

John enjoyed classic cars, westerns, classic country music, spending quality time with his wife and daughter, and he loved his three little puppies – Bailey, Kobi and Petey.

In the last few months one of John’s favorite things to do was to go to Publix on Cervantes with his wife. He loved driving the cart around and visiting with all of the employees. He always commented on how nice the staff was to him, especially the girls in the pharmacy.

A special thank you to Dr. Owera and the staff of the Woodlands for their wonderful care over. Also a special thank you to nephew Douglas Johnson for all of the help with projects over the years.

The family will host a celebration of life Sunday, October 28, 2018, at 2 p.m. at the family home, 2808 E. Gonzalez St., Pensacola, FL 32503.

In lieu of flowers donations may be made to Friends of the Escambia County Animal Shelter or Amazing Grace Bully Rescue.
