Jerry Monday Johnson

On Sunday, September 19, 2021, Jerry Monday Johnson, loving brother, brother-in-law, and uncle passed away at the age of 81.

Jerry was born April 18, 1940, in Winnsboro, Texas to A.D. “Gus” & Grace Johnson. He was a member of Pine Hill Church, director of Shady Grove Cemetery Association, president for one year and then director of Train Depot in Winnsboro.

Jerry lived in Winnsboro his entire life except for a couple of years when he worked for TransWestern Pipeline in Dumas, Texas. He worked for Winnsboro Cotton Oil Company from 1959-1969. He started his welding life in 1969 as Jerry M Johnson Welding and General Repair. He sold that business and built his shop at home where he continued to do welding, machine building, pecan cracking, you name it, and Jerry could draw it out and build it. Jerry also did custom framing for Jefferson Imagining in Jefferson, Texas for 20+ years. Jerry and his friend, Gene Norton, never slowed down. They were active in several honeybee groups and had many hives of bees. Jerry was one of a kind and loved to be around his family and friends.

Jerry is preceded in death by both of his parents, two brothers, Jack Johnson and Larry Johnson, sister-in-law Joyce Johnson, and nephew Bobby Johnson. He is survived by his brother Royce Johnson, sister-in-law Jan Johnson, nephews Kenny Johnson, Keith Johnson, Craig Johnson and Mike Johnson, nieces Kim Garrison and Jeannie Sims, and numerous friends.
