Roy Johnson Obituary

A Legacy



A heritage: character qualities, memoirs…..



To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: A time to be born, and a time to die, a time to plant, and time to pluck up that which is planted…a time to weep, and a time to laugh: a time to mourn, and a time to dance.



Ecclesiastes 3:1, 2, 4





Roy Edward Johnson was born August 27, 1935 to the late Cola and Hugh Johnson in Bruceton, Tennessee. He departed this life on Saturday, August 20, 2016.



Roy loved his family and friends. He loved family gatherings, cooking, entertaining and traveling. He also looked forward to traveling with his wife. Roy was the life of the party. His mantra in life was to live each day as if it were your last. Roy enjoyed life to the fullest. His last day on this earth was with his loving wife and friends on a sandy beach wading into the ocean on a sun filled day. Roy would not have wanted to exit this earth any other way.



Roy graduated from Webb High School in Carroll County, TN and served in the United States Army where he received an honorable discharge in 1959­­.



Roy lived in Indianapolis, Indiana for eleven years where he worked as TV repairman and Insurance salesman. He moved to Canton, Ohio where he worked as Insurance Salesman for seven years. Roy Johnson resigned from selling insurance and was the proprietor of a convenience store “The Store” for nine years. He also owned a supply company called R Johnson Supply and was an asbestos and lead abatement contractor. He developed a patent system that was used for the abatement of lead based paint and construction. Roy relocated to Columbus, Ohio with his company ENCAP Corp. He left Columbus with his wife Lynette and moved to Sanford, Florida. Roy sold his company to Forta Corp an international corporation in Grove City, Pennsylvania and stayed on as the technical manager for ENCAP Seal.



He was the middle child of four siblings (Flossie Brigham-a deceased sister and Thomas Johnson a deceased brother) he is survived by Sister Leonia Delores Nelson. Roy leaves to cherish his memory, a loving and devoted wife of twenty nine years, Lynette Johnson, seven children Dr. Michael Windsor Johnson of San Diego, California, Doreen Michelle McCullough of Detroit, Michigan, Kim Robinson Herriott and son in law Vincent Herriott of Columbus, Ohio, Karen Mitchell, Aaron Mitchell, and Larry Mitchell and five grandchildren Brandon Lentes, William Hall II, DuJshon Stevens, DerMarious Hardy, an OvViance Harriott and some very special friends brother in law Wilson Kennedy of Colorado Springs, CO, Bill Hampton of Indianapolis, IN, Alfred and Jennifer Westin of Maitland, FL and Erick Young of Deltona, FL and a host of nieces and nephews, relatives and friends.



The family will receive friends Saturday, August 27, 2016 from 9:30AM until 10:00 AM at Baldwin-Fairchild Oaklawn Chapel, 5000 County Road 46A, Sanford, Florida 32771. The Memorial Service will follow at 10:00 AM in the funeral home.





The Measure of a Man



The measure of a man is not found in the things he owns or what he has saved for retirement or even his accomplishments. The true measure of a man is found in his faith and his heart. It’s found in the friends and family who stayed by him, the strength he displays under pressure, the sensitivity he unashamedly expresses. And it’s found in the truth of his words, the genuineness of his life, his unselfish actions, and the values he lives by.



Determine the measure of a man not by admiring his trophies, nor by comparing him to other men either weaker or stronger. Determine the measure of a man by how much you trust him and believe in him, and by how much his life enhances yours.
