Lamar Johnson

It is with heavy hearts that we celebrate the life of Richard Lamar Johnson, who passed away on October 17, 2025. Lamar was a kind, patient, and loving father, son, brother, husband, uncle, grandfather, and friend whose gentle spirit and generous heart touched all who knew him.

Lamar’s greatest joy and proudest accomplishment in life was being “Grandpa” to his grandchildren—Sophia, Jackson, and Elizabeth. He loved nothing more than sitting under the shade, listening to his favorite music, and watching them play. Those quiet moments brought him peace and happiness, perfectly capturing who he was—steady, humble, and full of love.

He is survived by his devoted wife of 36 years, Brenda Johnson; his son, Zackary Lamar Johnson; daughter-in-law, Christina Johnson; his cherished grandchildren, Sophia, Jackson, and Elizabeth Johnson; his father, Ronald Johnson; his sisters, Ronda Orona and Diane Mullican; brother-in-law, Houston Orona Jr.; sister-in-law, Mary Burciaga; and many nieces and nephews—Marina Rodriguez, Jose Rodriguez, Roman and Jose Rodriguez Jr., Cher Garrett, Gary Garrett, Angel Downing, Tori and Kara Garrett, Lynn Santos, Tatum Stone, Kylee, Trevor and Devin Orona. As well as extended family members. He was preceded in death by his beloved mother, Etta Johnson, sister-in-law Linda Santos and brother-in-law Ronnie Santos.

Lamar was a devoted husband and family man who spent his life dedicated to those he loved. He worked side by side with his son, brother-in-law, sister, and nephew in the family business—a true example of his loyalty and commitment. Always patient, dependable, and ready to lend a hand, Lamar was the person everyone could count on.
