Friends of the Family
Acknowledgment Words cannot adequately express the gratitude we have for our family and friends who have consoled us during this time of bereavement.
Your presence, prayers, love, and many acts of kindness have truly sustained us. Again, we say
Thank You and may God continue to bless you all.
~The Family
My Hero
You held my hand when I was small
You caught me when I fell
You are the hero of my childhood
And my later years as well
And every time I think of you
My heart still fills with pride
Though I will always miss you Dad
I know you’re by my side
In laughter and in sorrow
In sunshine and in rain
I know you’re watching over me
Until we meet again.

Obituary
Mr. Fredrick Douglas Johnson was born October 5, 1941 in Sanford NC to the union of James Henry Johnson and Harriet C. Johnson.
Fredrick received his education from the Lee County School System. He was a very hard worker that loved to work and provide for his family. He went from farming to working for several companies such as C&H Processing, Lee Paving, Oldham & Oldham. He had such a love and a passion for dump trucks and log trucks that he was a self-taught mechanic. As he began to work on his own vehicles, as well as others in the community, he discovered entrepreneurship. He formed his own Business, “Fred Johnson Trucking” with the aid of his daughter, Stephanie. Fredrick had a salvage yard that was known by many as “The Place” that he cherished. Whether it was rain, shine, sleet or snow you would find him there.
He was a member of New Bethel FWB Church for many years under the leadership of the late Elder John H. Blue. Later in life he joined the Potters House COGIC under the leadership of Dr. Grant A. Blue & Dr. Joyce A. Blue where he served as a Deacon until his health failed.
Fredrick transitioned from his earthly home on December 24, 2018.
He was preceded in death by his wife, Fannie D. Johnson; his children, Douglas Burch, Jennifer Morrison, and Carlita McIver; his grandson, Fredarius McIver; his parents, Deacon James H. and Harriet C. Johnson; ten siblings, Willie, Melvin, Lillie Pearl, Pamela, Jannie, Paul, Jimmy, Dennis, Jessie, and Bobby.

Fredrick had twenty-one grandchildren, thirty great grandchildren, and two great-great-grandchildren.
He had six siblings, Annie J. Powell, Deaconess Helen J. Covington, Robert D. Johnson, Thurman Johnson (Minister Annie), Herman Johnson (Minister Ola), and Deacon Wade L. Harrington (Pastor Patricia) all of Sanford NC. Fredrick had five sisters-in- law, Gennis Johnson, Pastor Patricia Taylor (Ben), Judith Davis (Dayrl), Sylvia Martin all of Sanford NC, and Sarah McIver of Burlington NC; one brother-in-law, Ronnie McIver (Annette) of Sanford NC.
Fredrick had grandchildren that were FAITHFUL and DEVOTED to him, Shardae, Jamauri, Ka-Breah, Jaden, his right hand man KJ, Jaylah, Illise, Khameron, Khasch, Ashley, Andrea, Terry, Bianca and Chasatie.
His best friend was his cousin, Johnny James Quick. He also grew fond of his caregiver, Necey Swann.

dedicated: Wayne, Angie, Tony, Esther, Taurus, Rino, DaCarlos and a host
of other nephews, nieces, relatives, and friends.
