Jack Walter Johnson

JACK WALTER JOHNSON, a resident of Clanton, AL, died Friday, June 13, 2014. He was born 1 Jan. 1940 to Hazel Juanita Glasscock Johnson (Deceased) and to Finus C. Johnson (Deceased). Our dear Jack Johnson touched many lives and inspired many more with his admiration and strength to keep going no matter what the circumstances. Through the hard and painful bout with cancer, he shined through everything put in his path by the guidance of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. He was a member of West End Baptist Church in Clanton, AL. Anytime we asked how dad felt even fighting the cancer he would say "ANY BETTER I COULDN' T STAND IT!" That phase was his way of saying everything is in God's hands and it will be alright. His greatest achievement was putting "LIGHT" in everyone's lives and homes. He is survived by his wife: Laura Diane Johnson, his siblings: F.C. "Buddy" Johnson Jr. (Othella), Juanita Jean Johnson Dorroh. He is also survived by his children: Wesley Shawn Davis (Susie), Lisa Ann Johnson, Juanita Ann Johnson (Michael), Jackie Dwayne Mauro, Hazel Diane Summersill (Carl), Brenda Gail Cothron (Bobby), June Marie Mack, Mark Alan Stewart (Tracy). Also, his 11 grandchildren and 6 great-grandchildren. Our kind thanks goes out to his primary physician, Dr. Hirenkumar Jani, and all the kind doctors and nurses at Shelby Baptist Medical Center who worked so hard to make his stays there comfortable. Funeral services will be held at 2:00 p.m. at West End Baptist Church in Clanton with Rev. Tony Smitherman and Daniel Wilson officiating.
