Mr. Larry " Skipper" Johnson

Reidsville, NC - Mr. Larry Al Johnson, affectionately known as “Skipper,” of Reidsville, North Carolina, peacefully transitioned from labor to reward on March 23, 2026, leaving behind a legacy of faith, dedication, and love that will forever be cherished by those who knew him.

Born on December 5, 1954, in Caswell County, North Carolina, Larry was the beloved son of the late Mr. William Albert Johnson, Sr. and Mrs. Monnie Louise Lea Johnson. From humble beginnings, he was raised with strong values that guided his life and steadfast commitment to his family and community.

Larry devoted many years of faithful service as an Electronic Technician before retiring from the Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company, Asheboro, North Carolina where he was respected for his strong work ethic, skill, and reliability. Beyond his professional accomplishments, Larry’s true fulfillment was found in his service to God, his family and others.

He was a  member of Wesley Chapel United Methodist Church in Reidsville, where he faithfully served as a trustee and was an active member of the United Methodist Men. Whether through his church, his work, or his family, Larry exemplified what it meant to live a life of purpose. He was a graduate of Bartlett Yancey High School and later attended Randolph Community College.

Larry was married to Julie Randolph Johnson, with whom he shared a bond of love, partnership, and enduring commitment.

Larry was preceded in death by his parents; three brothers, John Frank Johnson, George Johnson, and William Albert Johnson, Jr.; and one sister, Ethel Annette Johnson.
