Eric T. Johnson departed this life on Tuesday, March 18, 2025, at his home, surrounded by his children.
A Homegoing Service will be held on Saturday, March 29, at 12:00 p.m. at Greater Joy Baptist Church, 45 East Strasburg Road, Front Royal, with Pastor Mark Lewis officiating. Inurnment will be private.
Eric was born June 7, 1975, in Washington, D.C., the son of Frances Johnson and the late Artie McCain. He was his mother’s only child.
Eric has worked at many jobs since the age of 16. He worked as a professional mover, a factory worker, a process technician, and a forklift driver. Eric would do anything he could to make money to support his family. Eric loved his Commanders team, as he would often wear his shirt or show up with his hat to parade their wins. Eric enjoyed partying and had never met a stranger; he was very outgoing. He would meet and crack jokes with you like he had known you for years.
Eric enjoyed spending time with his children. He loved playing with Grace outside in the evening, talking with his children on the phone, or catching up with his family members whom he rarely saw.
He married the love of his life, Brooke Johnson, on October 10, 2020.
Eric enjoyed making his wife, Brooke, happy and loved seeing that beautiful smile on her face. He loved it when he and Brooke went on date nights once a month. They had a love like no other and loved each other very deeply.
He will be missed by everyone who knew and loved him.
Surviving, along with his mother, is his loving and devoted wife, Brooke Johnson; children, Erryca, EJ, Bjorn, Raegan, Robert, Resse, Heavyn, and the apple of his eye his baby girl, Princess Grace; and he would be upset if we forgot to mention his siter-cousins, Angie and Jamie.
The family will receive friends at the church on Saturday, March 29, from 11:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m..
