Charles "Buck" Richard Johnson

Charles Richard Johnson passed away peacefully on July 5, 2021 at the age of 96. "Buck" was born in Rome, Ga to the late Will and Betty Johnson. He served his country in the United States Navy and at the age of 21 Buck married 18 year old Louise Bunch. The 74 years of marriage they shared together pale in comparison to the eternity that began when she met him at Heavens gate. The love of family shown in the Johnson house lives on through his son Charles (Mona) Johnson, daughters; Connie (Fred) Coupal, Cathy (Mike) Grizzard, Shelia Poteete, Patty (Patrick) Duggan and Sharon Johnson Ritter. His memory will also live on in his 15 grandchildren; Chris Hightower, Carla Johnson, Christi Taylor, Jennifer Cowart, Michael Poteete, Nikki Smith, Gregory Topolski, Patrick Topolski, Michael Duggan, Jody Wallace, Rebecca Layman, Trista Ritter, Traci Sargent, Wylie D. Ritter and Derek Ritter as well as 31 great grandchildren and 9 great-great grandchildren.

Funeral services will be held on Thursday July 8, 2021 at Tara Baptist Church in Jonesboro, Georgia at 12 pm. The family will receive friends one hour prior with interment to follow at Sherwood Memorial Park.

In lieu of flowers donations can be made to the Alzheimer's Association or Tara Baptist Church in Mr. Johnson's name.
