Bryon Theodore Johnson, age 79, of Marionville, Missouri, passed away at 2:30 a.m. on Friday, December 28, 2018, at Cox South Hospital in Springfield, Missouri. He was born August 9, 1939, in Marks Creek Township, Richmond County, North Carolina, the son of Chester and Teedie (Knight) Johnson.
Byron was a 1958 graduate of Richmond High School in Rockingham, North Carolina. He served in the United States Coast Guard and he was the owner/operator of Johnson Construction Company.
To his family he will remain a kind and loving father, grandfather, great-grandfather, brother and uncle. To his friends he will always be “Johnny”. Whether you knew him or didn’t know him, whether you liked him or didn’t like him, he will remain a man of honor and a class act. If you were hungry he would go out of his way to see you were fed. If you asked him for a favor he would do what he could. Even to the end he was a “Man’s Man” and the following words resounded from his lips and in his letters to himself and many others “Stay Strong” and “Be a World Shaker”. Whether you like him or not you can never deny his impact on American Culture. History will forever record him as a “World Shaker”. Those who knew him will remember him as a “Man of Honor” and those who knew him as a person will remember him as “Johnny”.
On January 18, 1960, he married the love of his life, Joyce Mallor in New York, New York.
