Bobby Joe Johnson

Bobby Joe Johnson, age 84, passed away at his home in Brandon, MS, on Saturday, April 18, 2026. He was born on October 21, 1941, in Taylorsville, MS.

A tool and die maker by trade, Bobby was also a veteran who honorably served in the National Guard. He was known above all for his intense love of God and his unwavering faith. A devoted member of the First United Pentecostal Church, he served as the Secretary and Treasurer for 25 years and remained forever faithful to his church until his health no longer permitted him to attend.

Bobby was a devoted husband to Sherry Johnson for 16 years. He was the loving father of Angela Jones and Christine (Greg) Honeycutt, children of Dean Piekarski, both of Vicksburg; and stepfather to Donna (Neil) Valentine, Lamar (Michelle) Knighten, and Melissa (Shannon) Doyal.

He was a proud grandfather to Amanda (Jason) Kaitchuck, Morgan Adams, Christopher Jones, Krystal (Matthew) Norris, Jared Honeycutt, Branden (Destiny) Hines, Pierce Knighten, Lexi (Zach) Middaugh, Ashlyn Doyal, Marlee Doyal, and Brayden Doyal. He also leaves behind many beloved great-grandchildren.

In addition to his children and grandchildren, Bobby is survived by his sisters, Daisy Strickland and Catherine Parker, and his brother, Paul Johnson. He was preceded in death by his parents, Burl and Alpha Johnson; his sisters, Stella Stucky, Betty Sue Mullins, and Louise Strickland; and his brother, Billy Johnson.

The family would like to thank the "angels" at Vital Caring Hospice for their selfless care and for being such a source of strength during the past few years.

A celebration of life will be held on Tuesday, April 21, 2026, at Glenwood Funeral Home, 145 US-80, Vicksburg, MS. Visitation will begin at 9:00 AM, followed by a service in the chapel at 11:00 AM. Interment will follow at Greenlawn Gardens Cemetery.
