"In Loving Memory of Johnson VJ Johnson

With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of our beloved Johnson VJ Johnson, whose soul departed this world for eternal rest on December 22, 2024, at the age of 51. He died as a result of an unexpected heart attack. Born in Alapuram, Kerala, India , to the late Dr. V.U. John and Thresiamma John. Johnson’s life was a testament to love, resilience, and boundless passion.

After high school graduation, Johnson chased his dreams as a software engineer. For 25 years, Johnson dedicated himself to a career in software engineering and Nursing. His commitment to his work was matched only by his dedication to his family and his many passions.

He found immense joy in the simple yet profound beauty of life. His love for gardening brought life and color to his surroundings, transforming every space into a haven of nature. He was an avid hiker, drawn to the serenity of the trails, and a passionate kayaker, embracing the tranquility and thrill of being on the water. Johnson also loved skiing, where he found exhilaration in the crisp mountain air, and camping, which allowed him to connect deeply with nature under the starry skies. His passion for traveling led him and his family to explore many countries, creating cherished memories along the way.

More than his accomplishments, it was Johnson’s devotion to his loved ones that defined his life. He leaves behind his beloved wife, Detty, and his children, Kaitlyn Treasa and Alben Shawn. His warmth and guidance will be dearly missed by his sister Nejini, his brother Jishin (Unny), all his nieces and nephews, and his extended family and friends.

Johnson was not only a devoted husband, father, son, brother, and friend but also a beacon of kindness and compassion in the community around him. His ever-present smile, humility, and willingness to serve others made him a source of light to all who knew him.

An active member of Lourdes Matha Syro-Malabar Catholic Church, his faith guided his actions and inspired others. He also served as an IT guru for the Indian American Nursing Association of NC, where he used his technical expertise to bring people together and strengthen bonds within the community. His generosity, thoughtfulness, and steadfast support touched countless lives.

Johnson’s legacy is one of love, adventure, and an unwavering commitment to family and community. He has left behind countless memories that will be treasured forever.

A wake service will be on January 2nd 2025, 6:00 to 9:00 pm at Lourdes Matha Syro-Malabar Catholic Church, Apex. The celebration of Johnson’s remarkable life will take place on January 3rd 2025, at 10:00 am and friends and family are warmly invited to gather to honor his memory, share stories, and celebrate the joy and inspiration he brought into the world. Burial will follow services on Friday at Wake Memorial Park.

Even though a failing heart took him away from this world, his loving heart left a beacon of light for all in the community. Johnson will forever be remembered for his gentle spirit and unwavering generosity. Though he is no longer with us, his love and light will live on in our hearts, inspiring us to emulate his example of compassion and kindness. Rest in peace, Johnson. You will be deeply missed but forever remembered."
