William Columbus Johnson, age 78 of Conyers, died Thursday, October 30, 2025. He is survived by his wife, Linda, daughter and son-in-law, Kim and Greg Skelton, grandchildren, Amy (Justin) Williams and Austin (Amanda) Skelton, great-granddaughter to be, Nova Ann Skelton, and special cousins, Charles Rusty Connell and Johnny Johnson.
William was a proud Viet Nam Veteran, serving in the United States Navy for 6 years as a Signalman 1st Class. He loved his family fiercely and was always willing to lend a helping hand to those in need.
William was rarely without a smile on his face, unless he was eating, and he was known to regularly raid the snack cabinet at his daughter's house.
In his later life, he enjoyed going on shopping trips with his wife and daughter.
Funeral services will be held Saturday, November 1, 2025, at 3:00 PM at Scot Ward's Green Meadow Chapel with Tirrie Terrell officiating; interment will follow at East View Cemetery. The family will receive friends Saturday, November 1, 2025, from 1:00 PM to 3:00 PM at the funeral home. Condolences may be submitted online at www.scotward.com.
