Houston Neal Johnson “Neal,” went to his Heavenly Father on Saturday, November 16, 2024 after a long illness. He was a member of Pleasant View Baptist Church.
He was preceded in death by his parents, John C. Johnson, and Virginia Walkup Johnson.
He is survived by his wife, Glenda Dennis Johnson; along with several nieces and nephews and friends.
He graduated from the University of Tennessee with a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration and Industrial management.
His first love was always airplanes. He joined the Army in 1971 and when he came home, he worked his way through college as a flight instructor. He loved teaching people the joy of flying. This was at Knoxville Downtown Airport. That was where he met his wife, Glenda; and they were promptly married in 1975.
They moved to Atlanta and Neal started his new company, Prime Technological Services.
After retirement he and his wife moved to their favorite place on Cherokee Lake. He was a member of EMA, and served on the Civil Service Board, along with many other projects.
Everyone who knew Neal will miss him. He was a blessed soul and a good man.
