Johnnie

Young

Today, we are celebrating the life of Johnnie Lee Young. Johnnie was born on October 30, 1929, to the late John Young and Mary Bell Crump.
Johnnie accepted Christ at an early age and through the years he was a faithful member to Shiloh CME Church and Miracle Revival Center Full Gospel. He was known for his love of singing and people.
Johnnie was married to the late Grace Mae Evans for 30 years, and they had two beautiful girls, Maxcine Bowden and Sin Ruff.
While being married, growing a family, and attending church, Mr. Young was an employee at Rockwell for 29 years which is from where he retired. He was a security guard from 2009 to 2015 at Cooper Tire. His children and grandchildren were his world. His first great-grandchild was born, and the love, smiles, and dinners got bigger and bigger as we kept extending the family he was preceded in death by his wife Gracie Mae, one daughter Sin Ruff, five sisters and one brother.

Johnnie leaves to cherish his precious memories to his daughter, Maxcine Bowden; five grandchildren, Steve (Candice) Bowden, Stephanie (Ken) Pulliam, Cyrus (Trina) Young,  Jonathan (Sonja) Bowden, and Senora (Alton) Ruff; a host of great-grandchildren, great-great-grandchildren, nieces, nephews, and cousins; one special goddaughter, Betty (Mac) Clemons; and two special godsons, James Shumpert and Robert Williams.

He also leaves to cherish his precious
memories to Ethal Below, Odella Lawrence, Betty Brown, Evelyn Stegall, Lillie Evans, Martha (Dennis) Tucker, Sidney Evans, and Howard Kilgore.
