Robert James Johnson

ROBERT JAMES JOHNSON Robert James Johnson, 58, of Moberly, Missouri, passed away peacefully on the morning of June 27 at Valley View Nursing and Rehabilitation Center. Born and raised in Moberly, Robert graduated from Moberly High School in 1986 and later earned his Associate of General Studies degree from MACC in 1997. A lifelong learner, he had a deep love for history and could always be found with a book in hand or a story on his lips. Robert's greatest joy in life was his family. Though he had no children of his own, he was a steady, loving father figure to his nieces and nephews a guiding presence whose warmth, humor, and wisdom left a lasting mark. He enjoyed fishing on quiet mornings, listening to the sound of a good rainstorm, settling in for a spooky movie, and savoring the simple pleasures of life especially a well-timed nap. He is survived by his sister Edenia Wisdom and her children Deanna, Audrea, and Alexander (and their children); his brother Glendale Johnson and his children April, Erica, and Dale (and their children); as well as many aunts, uncles, and extended family members who loved him dearly. Robert will be remembered for his gentle heart, his sharp wit, and the way he made others feel seen, heard, and loved often with nothing more than a well-told tale and a warm smile. "Go then, there are other worlds than these." Stephen King Service will be held at Cater Funeral Home July 21st.
