Star, The (Port St. Joe, FL) - Thursday, January 12, 2017
James R. Johnson, "Hot Rod", born March 12, 1931, passed away January 5, 2017 in Wewahitchka. He was a mechanic and worked for the Corps of Engineers, he retired from the Gulf County Road Department, and owned and operated J & J Trucking for many years. He loved racing and building race cars all of his life. Most of all he wanted his daughters to know that he loved them with all of his heart.

He was faithful to the end. He ran his last race and made heaven his home.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Carey R. Johnson and Pearl Jane Davis; his brother Daryll Johnson, his sister Eloise Davis Currington; and one grandson, Dennis E. Causey.
