Obituary

Gabriel "Greg' Johnson, a native of Palatka, FL., was the son of Sandra Johnson and Albert Johnson. Greg and his sister Jozet were raised by their grandparents Alice and Sylvester Johnson after the untimely death of their mother.

Greg was educated in the Putnam County School System and was a member of the class of 1986 at Palatka High. In his early years, Greg was baptized and became a member of Greater Shiloh Missionary Baptist Church. Years later Greg rededicated his life to the lord and became the minister of music and was ordained a deacon at Allen Chapel AME Church under the leadership of Pastor Clarence Williams Jr. Greg was employed at Seminole electric and Georgia Pacific for numerous years until his health failed him.

Greg began his love for music at an early age attending music lessons along with his sister Jozet under Mr. John Alexander.

While in High School, he became a member of the High School Band where he played tuba. Greg joined Pops Ensemble where he played the guitar and drums. He was also a member of the Groups

"Casio", "Higher Heights', and Abe and the House-Rockers. When younger, Greg was a Michael Jackson Fan, later he became a Prince fan with his favorite song by Prince "Purple Rain."

Greg could play most instruments but his love for the bass guitar and keyboard were his favorites. Greg composed several songs and never hesitated in sending them out to family & friends to listen!

Greg became an avid fan of Nascar and hunting and spent many weekends working on old cars with his daddy! Gabriel "Greg' Johnson
