    Notes:

    Fred Johnson, Jr. (Junior) age 74, Newland, North Carolina went to his eternal home on Wednesday, January 5, 2011 in Charles A. Cannon Jr. Memorial Hospital, Linville, North Carolina.

    Junior was a native of Avery County born on August 16, 1936 to Fred & Florence Grindstaff Johnson. Junior was one of a kind, a friend to everyone. He was employed until his time of death at Avery True Value Hardware where he was loved and adored as family. He was proud to be an American and always flew his flag with honor. He loved his family with an unfailing love until the Lord Jesus called him home. His love for the outdoors has been passed on to many others that he came in contact with. He was a member of the Gold Prospectors Association which never made him a rich man but really put a gleam in his eye when he saw "Color."

    He was committed to Greater Joy Fellowship where he was an usher and faithful attendee. He was a student of the Holy Bible and could converse with "the best of them" in knowledge of God's Word and expressed his knowledge by teaching Sunday school. Bible studies were always vocal with a seasoned experience of what God had done in his life.

    Junior is survived by his sister: Carolyn Pyatte and husband Kenneth. Nine nephews and their wives, two nieces and their husbands, great nieces and nephews of a great number.

    A Celebration of life service will be held at Greater Joy Fellowship at a later date with Pastor Ronnie Pyatte officiating.
