Aaron L. Johnson, age 44, of Wilmington, Del., was called home to be with our Lord Friday, Sept. 11, 2009. Funeral services were held Saturday, Sept. 16 at McKinnie Funeral Home chapel with Pastor Larry Dawson officiating and with McKinnie Funeral Home directing. Born in Crestview, Aaron was the only child of Betty Jo Cooks and Lenmon Blue Johnson. Aaron accepted Jesus Christ in his life before his death. He will be greatly missed by his mother, family and friends. He fought a long and hard battle with his illness, but in the end he lost his battle. He will always be remembered for his intellect and humorous attitude when talking with his family and friends. To those that knew him as a youth, he was a good football player; to those that knew him as a young man, he was a good student; but to his mother, who knew him best, he was a great son. To him, his mother Betty was his rock of Gibraltar. He was preceded in death by his father, Lenmon, and grandmother, Lessie W. Foster. Aaron leaves to cherish his memories his mother, Betty Jo Cooks; special friend, Larry McBride; aunts, Mary Rolland of Atlanta, Ga.; Carolyn Foster and Sarah Jackson, both of Crestview; uncle, Eugene Foster of Crestview; the Hutchinson and Foster families; stepmom, Mary Hawkins; brothers, Jeffrey and Mallary Johnson, and Michael Haskins; sisters, Petrina Uzzell, Priscilla Johnson and Alisa Johnson; and a host of relatives and friends.
