JOHNSON, Cornelius (C.J.)

The Daily Courier, Prescott, Arizona Sunday, July 16, 2017, pages 7a & 8a Cornelius (CJ) Johnson, went to be with the Lord on July 11, 2017. He lived an amazing life that cannot be put into words. His impact touched many lives. God gave CJ the gift to mentor and coach many of the youth of Prescott over the past 20 years. It was his desire to be a positive influence in their lives, to see them develop their personal character, achieve academically and to trust in God. They were his passion! To the many health providers in Prescott, we want to thank you for your kindness and personal care you gave CJ over the years. You gave him more than care, you became his friends. Cornelius is survived by his wife, Christy; son, Micah; sisters, Mary and Helen, of Virginia; as well as many relatives and friends. We all loved his hearty laugh and respected his optimistic joyful spirit. A Memorial Celebration will be announced at a later date. Anyone wishing to give in CJ’s honor please send to the Youth Ministry at Prescott Christian Church. To send condolences, please visit www.hamptonfuneralhome.com.
