Eric Ricardo Johnson

Mr. Eric Ricardo Johnson, 64, was called from labor to reward on Thursday, April 18, 2024 at his home.

Eric, a lifelong native of Clarksville, was born on November 2, 1959, to the late Oscar Herman and Hattie Pearl Daley Johnson. As a youth, he was reared in the New Liberty Baptist Church. Eric graduated from Bluestone Senior High School and was employed at Burlington Industries for many years. His second career was driving 18-wheelers until his health declined and he retired.

Eric enjoyed four major passions throughout his life! They included: driving his 18-wheeler, restoring cars and trucks, tinkering with small engines, and raising dogs. Eric's major passion however, was his faith. He spent countless hours sharing God's goodness to many that he encountered. His faith led him to the Exalted Word Church International in South Hill, VA. Under Pastor Carl Walker's leadership, he rededicated his life to Christ and was elevated to "Elder'' (aka Deacon). He remained a stalwart to the end.

Eric's memory is cherished by his brothers, Oscar Johnson, Jr. and Ashley Johnson; devoted cousin, Phillis Townes Drumwright; two God-sisters, cousins, family and friends and last, but certainly not least his beloved Pit, "Honey".

Funeral services for Mr. Eric R. Johnson will be conducted 2:00 P.M. Saturday, April 27, 2024 at the chapel of C. H. Harris Funeral Home, Buffalo Junction, VA with Rev. Carl Walker officiating. Burial will follow in New Liberty Baptist Church Cemetery, Clarksville, VA. Public viewing will be held on Friday from 2:00 P.M. until 6:00 P.M.

Arrangements are by C. H. Harris Funeral Home and Cremation Service, Clarksville, VA.
