William E “Billy” Johnson
December 18, 2023
was a native Pensacola resident who gracefully passed away Sunday, December 17, 2023, due to an acute illness.
After serving his country in the Air Force, he returned to Pensacola where he and Wonda Johnson married and established Johnson’s Septic Tank. Together they provided more than 50 years of service to Pensacola, FL and surrounding areas. He quickly became a pillar in his community through his passion of providing to others; whether it was a professional service, coaching tee ball, or introducing new youth to the great outdoors. His charismatic personality led him to spread his everlasting imprint outside the community of Pensacola where he and his three sons together found his momentous passion, Kansas whitetail hunting. This discovery, fueled by his passion for the outdoors, led to more than just hunting. It evolved into a lifetime of memories created year after year, creating a family foundation that would soon become the pinnacle of Billy’s life. This passion will not only survive, but will continue to flourish for years to come commemorating Billy…always.
Billy is preceded in death by his parents William “Rat” and Sadie Johnson, as well as his brother David Johnson and sister, Pam Holland. He is survived by his sons, William Ernie Johnson, wife Heather, Walter Erin Johnson, and Wesley Evan Johnson, companion Ellen Penton; sister, Tina Johnson; grandchildren, Landon Johnson, Braelynn Johnson, Allie Penton, and Evan Penton. Billy’s last two years were graced by the unwavering companionship of Cindy Summers. Her selfless devotion and sacrifice enabled Billy to live his last years completely fulfilled with love, compassion, grace, and overflowing joy. Her love and dedication will survive alongside his memory as we celebrate his eternal life.
A Memorial Service will be held Wednesday, December 20, 2023, at 2:00 PM at Faith Chapel Funeral Home North.

We were able to make it to the service – so many hunters catching up and telling stories. Billy was loved and will be missed. Prayers to the Johnson family.
The Johnson family, we have known Bill for a long time, he was like family to us.we lived on the property on Killbee Ln when Mr Ernest bought it in the seventies.Then we met Bill he has been a friend ever since.We have built many houses in our 54 years of being married and Bill did every septic tank for us.We loved what Bill did to the old house when he moved it from Killbee Ln to off Kingsfield.Everytime we saw him he had a big smile and a story to tell us He surely will be missed by all who knew him. God Bless each of you and may He grant you peace and comfort.
