Chris Johnson Obituary
He was a beloved member of The Potter's House Dallas where he served on the Safety Department for 25 years.
Chris loved the Lord, his family, and sports. In addition to that, he also loved a good suit! He was an avid suit collector and rarely repeated the same one. Big Chris will truly be missed!
Preceded in death by: Mother and Father, Margaret and Ernest Johnson, and sisters: Bobbi Joe Johnson, Rosiland Johnson and Elaine Johnson Jones.
Leaving to mourn: his loving, devoted family, his innumerable friends spanning from New Orleans to Dallas, The Potters House family, his global prayer line family, UPS co-workers and AT&T stadium co-workers.

I am lost for words. I will miss seeing your smiling face, your words of encouragement and positivity. Always welcoming with that smile, hug or wave. You were a bright light. I thought I saw you cruising the parking lot for that front row spot yesterday after work. Thank you for being you. Just a lovable and beyond friendly guy. I pray for your family and friends to feel comfort. You are leaving a big void so know you are missed. Big hugs and love sent from a UPS family member, Michelle.

To our family this was a shock to all of us to hear the passing of our love Chris . We just saw him two months and two weeks ago. Chris was a people person he always had some encouraging words to say when you talk to him,he would always say a prayer for anyone who was sick or just needed a prayer. He will be truly miss by everyone. We miss that voice and laugh. We loved him but God loves him more, take your rest nephew, to our family we have to put our trust in God for he will see us through this and he will take care of us.

Condolence Message for the Family of Chris Oneal Johnson
Our hearts are deeply saddened by the sudden passing of our beloved cousin. Chris´s spirit was as radiant as his smile and his heart as large as his stature. He was one of the threads that wove our very large family of more than sixty first cousins together-always reaching out, checking in, and reminding us of the bond we share.
Chris lived his faith openly and fully; often reaching out to pray with us. His kindness, laughter, and spiritual strength touched everyone who knew him. Though words cannot ease the pain of this loss, we take comfort in knowing that his soul rests in peace and that his light will continue to shine through the love he gave so freely.
Family, please know that you are lifted up in prayer and we are standing with you in this time of sorrow. May God´s love surround you, and may you find peace in the cherished memories of Chris´s beautiful life.
With love and heartfelt sympathy, Lelia Ann, Marsha, and Deidre Johnson (McCullum, Smith, Johnson)
