Mr. Roy L. Johnson, age 81, a resident of Florala, Al passed away recently.

Roy Lee Johnson was born on November 24, 1935. He was the son of Leroy and Tommie Lee Johnson. He was raised by his grandmother, Pinkie Bean. He later lived with J. C. and Bessie Bryant for more than thirty years. He has lived with Ray and Lorena Bryant for the past ten years, and five years in the Opp Nursing Facility.

Roy Lee confessed Christ at an early age and has remained a "faithful" member of Sixth Avenue Baptist Church. He exercised his talents as the "music man" whenever the opportunity presented.

Roy Lee was a compassionate, compliant man with an humble spirit, giving service to others, and often un-noticed. He walked from house to house giving his service as the community babysitter and dishwasher. He could be found on any given day praising God while playing musical instruments. He played the piano on Fourth Sunday at his church for a number of years. He played for Sunday School and enjoyed performing for various occasions upon request. He thoroughly enjoyed the "Madea" movies which frequently turned over "his tickle box". Roy Lee began attending the Montezuma Activity Center in the early seventies. The highlight of his life was winning the talent show while playing "Amazing Grace" on a grand piano. He thoroughly enjoyed attending the center. His life was complete when he was able to attend church and the center.

After a brief, yet intense illness, God allowed him to enter into rest on March 18, 2017.

He leaves to cherish his memories, Ray (Lorena) Bryant, whom he loved like a big brother, Monica (Reginald) Alexander, Raylon Alexander, Geneva Fultz, George Edward (Christine) Wilson, the Peers and Staff of Montezuma Activity Center, Opp Nursing Facility, The Sixth Avenue Baptist Church Family and numerous cousins and friends.

See ya later…………

After while………….
