Not sure what to say?

I'm very sorry to hear about the passing of Lester. I still have very fond memories of him in our high school days. May the family find comfort to know he now home with our Lord Savior.

To Valerie, DeeDee and the Johnson Family: I really did not know that Lester was your brother until I saw his obituary. Lester and I were classmates, and he always had something funny to say. The last time I saw him in Lowe's, he cracked a joke; and as usual, I laughed. I will always remember him as being comical. Remember the good times you shared with him, and God will sustain you through this difficult time. Your St Mark Church member, Cynthia Madkins

To the family of Lester Johnson, in particularly Harvey “Tick” Johnson. My sympathies go out to you. I have fond childhood memories of Lester, most of them humorous! May the blessings of the One who gives comfort to us all, be yours during this time. Please know that I keep you in heartfelt thoughts and prayers. Irvine Simmons Lee

I will trully miss my uncle Lester, he helped to mold me into the Independent Man that i am today. One day we were talking about my family, and how I have people who depend on me everyday. So I said, I guess you can call me "The Dependable Man". In the next breath he told me you will always be "the independent man". Therefore I am.

My heart is so heavy to know my Uncle L will no longer be here with us physically but my faith in God gives me comfort to hope that he is in heaven with the Father our God. I can not remember the first time he said I was so Georgeous and how much he loved me. All I know is that everytime he said it i felt loved and special and BEAUTIFUL LOL He's big personality and ease to laugh and the joy and charm he brought to a room will be missed but allways remembered. I feel blessed to have had him in...

I will truly miss my Brother-In-Law (L). Lord, receive him in your coming again! Lester, my son (Antar- independent man) and my daughter (Makeda - gorgeous) are missing you as well.

To the Johnson Family, Words can not begin to express the sympathy I am feeling for your loss. I know he is in a much better place, even though our hearts may not allow us to comprehend that. You all are in my thoughts and prayers and May God Bless and Protect you all! Your "sister" from Green Street, Heather Johnson Jones, Jacksonville, Florida
