Herbert Glenn Johnson, age 79, of Farmville, VA, passed away on March 11, 2026 in Henrico, VA. He was born on July 6, 1946 at Farmville Hospital to the late George F. and Margie Carson Price Johnson. He was preceded in death by his parents, brothers Walter and George Johnson and one granddaughter Brianna Nicole Johnson.
He is survived by his son Herbert Glenn Johnson Jr (Janet) of Midlothian, VA, his devoted sister Doris Johnson Scruggs (Kerry) of Midlothian, VA and sister-in-law Rachel Johnson of Blackstone, VA. Herbert had five nieces and one nephew.
In Farmville, he held several jobs, one being a dispatcher for the Farmville Police Department. After living in Farmville for many years, he moved to the Aable Rest Home in Cumberland, VA.
