Celebrating the life of
Michael Steven Johnson
Passed away on May 22, 2021
Michael (or Mike, as he was best known) was born November 10, 1956 in Knoxville, TN to Joseph P. and Mary Alice Stout Johnson. Mike grew up in Knoxville, graduating from Central High School and the University of Tennessee.
While in college, Mike began working in retail. It would become his life’s work. He was a great salesperson and effective retail manager. His work would take him to positions in Knoxville, Atlanta, and Savannah.
Mike loved movies, the Oscars, theatre, and music. He could answer most any trivia question posed in those categories. He also had a keen interest in politics, lively conversation, and fine food. He was able to travel to Europe and many places in the U.S.
In his years after his retirement, he assisted in the care of his parents in Nashville, TN. He passed away in Savannah, GA on May 22, 2021.
Mike was preceded in death by his parents, Joe and Mary Alice Johnson. He is survived by his sister, Patricia, and husband, Steve Flemming, nephews Ross Flemming (Mary Catherine), Brian Flemming (Mary Foster), and nieces and nephew Madison, Riley, Jane, and Luke Flemming. He also leaves some devoted friends.

Mike was like a big brother to me going all the way back to the 80s. I’ll never forget all the times we had together with my dad and brother in Knoxville. I will miss you so much, Mikey, and will think of you every time I hear Arthur’s theme song.
