Apostle Antonio Lavon Johnson, Sr., 55, of Winston-Salem, North Carolina entered the Master’s joy on Saturday, April 4, 2020 at Novant Health Forsyth Medical Center. He was born on October 26, 1964 to Jake Jack Johnson, Jr. and Jeanette Young Johnson in Forsyth County, North Carolina. He received his formal education in the local Winston-Salem Forsyth County Schools and was a graduate of Parkland High School. Seeking more, he would go on to further his education at UNCG-Greensboro in Greensboro, North Carolina. Apostle A. L. Johnson, Sr. accepted Christ as his Savior at Mt. Nebo Holiness Church in Winston-Salem, North Carolina at an early age under the leadership of Bishop Jake Jack Johnson, Sr. Thus, knowing he had a greater call upon his life, Apostle Johnson was the Founder of Love Fellowship Outreach Church. His hands would find work at UNCSA (University of North Carolina School of the Arts) where he was employed for 16 years in the Maintenance Department. In Apostle’s leisure time, he loved traveling, going to the gym, studying the Holy Scriptures, but most of all spending time with his beloved family. He was preceded in death by his brother, Angelo Johnson. Apostle Johnson leaves behind to cherish memories, his children: Deshawn L. Love (Tonya), Antonio L. Johnson, Jr. (Samantha), LaMarcus Johnson (Kalen); parents: Jake Jack Johnson, Jr. and Jeanette Young Johnson; grandchildren: Saniya Dodd, Antonio Johnson, III, London Johnson; his siblings, Jake Jack Johnson, III, Tiffany Kirkland; other family: Kaleb Johnson, Delacie Johnson and Kelvis Johnson (Esharan) and a host of extended family and friends.

Death notice for the town of: Winston-Salem, state: North Carolina
My deepest sympathy and condolences to the families of my spiritual father Bishop Johnson. I just couldn’t believe it when I hear of his passing. He was an excellent example of a good shepherd. Who I am today was birthed at the age of 20 at Love Fellowship Outreach church. My heart cries deeply, but we know we shall see him again. He’s only resting. That’s the assurance we have as Children of God. May God comfort all of you in Jesus name.
Minister Life I Jones
Please be comforted in the Lord
