Johnson

Rev. John L. Johnson was born August 15,1954 in Tupelo, MS to the late Ethel Ree Johnson &, Lowell Walker Sr. He passed away at 70 yrs. old on June 2, 2025, at NMHS hospital.

He was united in holy matrimony to Minister Ruby Watson Johnson, and together they were blessed with nine children.

He was well known for his Camaro, motorcycles, hunting and fishing; but most of all, his love for God. He loved his wife and children unconditionally. He provided a life of stability and comfort for his family. He accepted Christ at a young age at New Providence in Tupelo and later became a dedicated member of Faith Revival Center Holiness Church in Chesterville, Mississippi. In 1980, he was ordained to preach the Gospel, answering a divine calling on his life. Five years later, he founded his own ministry, serving faithfully as the pastor of The Church of Faith Holiness for over 30 years. His pastoral leadership continued until he stepped away to care for his beloved wife during her illness – a commitment he upheld with unwavering love and devotion until her passing in 2019. He was also a member of C.O.M.E.

He dedicated over 25 years of service to Super Sagless before transitioning into a role as a commercial logistics and trucking operator for Tupelo Power Sports. Following his retirement, he began part-time employment with Toyota.
