Koleston Jerome Johnson

It is with broken hearts and immeasurable love that the Johnson family announces the passing of their precious little angel, Koleston Jerome Johnson, who was received into the loving arms of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, on Saturday, October 31, 2026, at the tender age of seven months.

Koleston was born March 4, 2026, in Douglas, Georgia, and brought immeasurable joy and love into the lives of his family. He was the most precious little brother to Kingston and Princeton and was soon to become a big brother to Eziah Johnson, who preceded him in passing.

Though his time on earth was far too brief, Koleston filled every moment with happiness, laughter, and unconditional love. He was a sweet, loving, and playful little boy who always seemed to have a smile on his face. Some of his happiest moments were waking up to the hugs and smiles of his big brothers, along with the tender love and affection of his mother and grandmother. He especially enjoyed watching his favorite cartoons, Bluey and Mickey Mouse, sitting with his eyes wide open, taking it all in and often laughing along with the characters.

In his seven short months, Koleston touched more hearts than words could ever express. Everyone blessed with the opportunity to see him, hold him, and share a moment with him will forever carry those precious memories. Although his little arms will no longer reach out for hugs and his sweet smile will no longer brighten the room, his memory will live on through the love he leaves behind. His family will forever speak his name, cherish his memory, and remind his brothers of the special bond they shared with their little brother.

Rest peacefully in the arms of Jesus, sweet Koleston. You were loved beyond measure, will be missed beyond words, and will remain in our hearts for all eternity.

Those left to cherish his precious memory include his mother, Erica Johnson; his father, Reginald Lane, Jr.; his brothers, Kingston Lane and Princeton Lane; his grandmother, Chakhan Johnson (Lance Francis); his grandfather, Reginald Lane, Sr.; his aunts and uncles, Miracle Johnson, Savanah Johnson, Ja'Quan Johnson, and Terrance Adkins; and his godmother, Kara Harris (Sharnetta Jenkins).

Koleston was preceded in death by his little brother, Eziah Johnson.

A gathering in celebration of Koleston's precious life will be held on Thursday, November 12, 2026, at Evangeline Funeral Home from 9:00 a.m. until 12:00 p.m. He will be laid to rest privately at a later date.
