Billy Johnson

Billy Johnson, born on January 21, 1951, peacefully left this world on January 19, 2025, just two days prior to his 74th birthday. He was a cherished member of the Kensett community in Arkansas, where he lived a life marked by love for his family and a passion for the simple pleasures of life.

He is survived by his beloved wife of 55 years, Ruby Diane Johnson; children, Trisha Cody (Alvie), Billy Jack Johnson (Kristie), Tina Johnson, Darlene Johnson, Jessie Johnson, Donna Johnson, and Glen Johnson (Alisha). Billy was also the proud grandfather and great-grandfather to many grandchildren, and his siblings, Johnny Johnson, Carolyn Yancey, Kathleen Johnson, Linda Colburn, and Patricia Hall. 

Billy was preceded in death by his parents, siblings, Bobby, Patsy, and Bonnie, granddaughters, Raven Star Johnson and Cindy Lee Green.
