Bobby Johnson, a man of profound faith, steady hands, and a generous heart, passed away May 5, 2026, at the age of 82. Born November 3, 1943 to LeeAnna Waters Johnson and Robert E. Johnson, Bobby grew up with a deep appreciation for family and hard work--values that would define his 82 years.

A master of his craft, Bobby spent his professional life as an auto mechanic, where his mechanical mind and reliable nature earned him the respect of all who knew him. As a passionate woodworker, he spent countless hours in the workshop, meticulously turning raw timber into beautiful treasures.

Bobby was a pillar of Goode's Creek Baptist Church. His devotion to his faith was evident in his tireless service, where he shared his wisdom and kindness as a Deacon, Deacon Chair, and Sunday School Teacher.

Bobby is preceded in death by his parents, LeeAnna and Robert.

He leaves behind a family who adored him, including his wife of 62 years, Joyce Johnson; his daughter and son-in-law, Sherrie and Jay Moore; and his granddaughter and husband, Jayna Moore-Sale and Tim Sale, his siblings, Bill Johnson and wife Cecile, Betty Dalton, and Bruce Johnson and wife Glenda, along with many other family members and friends.

Family and friends gathered to share memories of Bobby on May 8 at Goode's Creek Baptist Church.

Memorial donations may be made to Hospice of Carolina Foothills (PO Box 336, Forest City, NC 28043) or to Goode's Creek Baptist Church (PO Box 720, Cliffside, NC 28024).
