Obituary published on Legacy.com by Island Cremations and Funeral Home on Feb. 5, 2026.
William Henry Johnson, Jr., age 82 of Merritt Island, Florida, passed away on February 1, 2026.

Born in Washinton, D.C., William was the beloved son of William H. Johnson, Sr. and Margaret E. Johnson, who preceded him in death. He spent much of his life in Warrenton, Virginia, where he dedicated many years of service working at Moser Funeral home – a role that reflected his compassion, reliability, and deep respect for others. Later in life, he moved to Florida, where he continued to cherish time with family and friends.

William is known for his kind heart and unwavering loyalty. He loved his friends and family deeply and would have done anything for those he cared about. His generosity, warmth, and reassuring presence left a lasting impression on everyone who was lucky enough to have him known him.

William is survived by his loving daughter, Sarah, and son-in-law Michael; and his three grandchildren, Ryan, Hannah, and Gabriel, who were a great source of pride and joy in his life.

William will be remembered for his kindness, his commitment to service, and the love he held for his family. His legacy lives on in the many lives he touched, both personally and professionally. He will be deeply missed and remembered lovingly.
