Melvin’s Obituary Melvin Edward Johnson, Sr. (91) was called to his eternal rest on Sunday, February 3, 2019. Being an avid football fan, it seems fitting that this Marine with his warrior’s heart, chose Superbowl Sunday for his Homegoing. Husband to the late Virginia (nee Shawen), he is survived by children Sharon Smith (Larry), Donna LaRocco (George), Melvin Jr. (Debbie) and Dawn Lang. He was a devoted Grandfather to Christine Johnson (Paul), Angela Harrity (Jeff), Brian LaRocco (Angela), Derek Smith (Michelle), Joseph Spinelli (Camille), Andrea Brown (Harry), Justin Carter (Ria), Andrew Johnson, Gregory Johnson, Carl Lang, Jr., and Ryan Lang. Also proud Great-Grandfather to Brady, Logan, Jack, Olivia, Riley, Nicholas, Elise, Alana, Brody, Jacob, Justin, Emily, Elena, Victoria, and Alex Family and friends may call on Wednesday, February 6, 2019 at 10:30 a.m. in the Chapel at Garrison Forest Veteran Cemetery.

Death notice for the town of: Baltimore, state: Maryland
I absolutely loved Mr. Mel‼️ I had the honor of working with him at Open Bible Christian Academy as well as talking with him before and after church services. Being a part of Open Bible for many years I can say he seemed to always be there. I believe he put his best in all that he did. We all have a designated time to stand in front of our Lord. So difficult to know another is gone but also happy that Mr. Mel loved the Lord. I know he loved all of his friends and family. Hugs to his family and to all that knew him as we share missing him in our hearts. He had a lot of wise words and I won’t forget our talks.
Thank you Lord for the time we had with Mr. Mel.
