It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Jimmy Ray Johnson, a beloved father, grandfather, brother, and friend, who left us on July 16, 2026, at the age of 79. Born on February 8, 1947, in Taylor, Texas, Jimmy was the son of Vinson Chester and Annabelle Johnson.

A graduate of McCallum High School, class of 1965, he married his high school sweetheart Betty Kuhn in 1967, He pursued a Physical Education degree at The University of Texas, graduating in 1970.

He is lovingly remembered by his children, Scott and Melanie Johnson, and Jimmy and Jaime Johnson. His legacy continues through his four adored grandchildren, Lincoln, Nathaniel, Reed, and Chase Johnson. He also leaves behind his dear sister, Mary Mayberry, and her husband, Pat Mayberry.

Jimmy found joy on the golf course, where he was a long-standing member of the Georgetown Country Club. His involvement included being President and a member of the Board. His golfing buddies were not just friends but extended family, with whom he shared laughter and camaraderie.

Jimmy's charisma was evident in his love for storytelling. He often regaled friends and family with tales of his childhood in Hutto, spent in the loving company of his grandmother, aunts, uncles, and cousins. These stories were not only entertaining but a testament to the deep roots and cherished memories of his upbringing.
