The late Gary Lewis Johnson from Los Angeles recently passed away, leaving his family and community in deep mourning. Gary’s passing has significantly impacted his family, including his children Jemani, Ashayla, Cherrelle, and Gleniece, who are now facing the daunting task of arranging his final farewell without financial or emotional support from his spouse.
Gary was a cherished member of his Kingdom Hall family and community, known for his dedication to field ministry and his role as a servant just one position away from becoming an Elder. His commitment to preaching and field service made him a pillar of wisdom and strength to those around him.
In response to this loss, Jemani Johnson, Gary’s child, has created a GoFundMe campaign titled "Help Celebrate Gary’s Life and Legacy." The fundraiser aims to raise $20,000 to cover funeral expenses, create a lasting tribute, and support causes close to Gary’s heart. So far, $160 has been raised from three generous donors: Gail McIntosh ($50), LaTanya Scott ($100), and an anonymous donor ($10).
Jemani’s heartfelt message on the campaign page expresses the family’s gratitude for any contributions, emphasizing that even small donations will significantly honor Gary’s memory. The family hopes to celebrate Gary’s extraordinary life and ensure his legacy lives on through the support of friends, family, and kind-hearted individuals.
As the family navigates this challenging time, they are deeply appreciative of the kindness and compassion shown by their community. Every donation brings them closer to giving Gary the meaningful tribute he deserves.
