Wilbur Howard Johnson was born on March 5, 1953, in Jacksonville, Florida to Rev. William H. and Delia M. Johnson. He was born the second of eight children and was known to be street-smart and tough. He attended Duval County Public Schools.

Wilbur, affectionately known as "Bone", loved the Lord and could quote the scriptures of the Bible from Genesis to Revelation, almost verbatim. One of his favorite scriptures was Jeremiah 51:6, "Flee out of the midst of Babylon (confusion, corruption), and save every man his life…"

Following a lengthy illness, he departed this life on November 10, 2025.

He is survived by his daughters, Fabrienne Walton, Latrice Story (Charles), Tameka LeCount (Robert), Lashonda Roundtree and Ronisha Albertie (Joshua); sisters, Linda Wilson (Martin) and Roxie Wyatt; brothers, Joseph Johnson (Cheryl), William Johnson (Patricia) and David Johnson (Joan); a host of grandchildren, great-grandchildren, nieces, nephews, cousins, relatives and friends, including a close cousin, Jewel Hill .
