Jimmie Johnson Sr.

Jimmie E. Johnson, Sr., was born on June 26, 1953. He was the only
biological child born to Johnnie D. Johnson and Genie Mae Johnson,
but he had six siblings, Craig and Carla Martin, Denise Stewart-Hill,
Randy Taylor, Reggie Scott, and Carla Robinson (deceased). He was
raised in North St. Louis City, where he attended Dunbar & Carver
Elementary and Vashon High School. He was very talented in multiple
areas, and displayed those talents well. He earned a certificate in the
career fields of auto mechanics, welding, carpentry, brick laying, and
heating and cooling. He made multiple charitable contributions to
the “Reverend Rice Ministry” to support the needs of the homeless.
He used his free time to transport his senior neighbors to and from
their doctor appointments, picked up their prescriptions, and often
did their grocery shopping for them.

Although he had been married four times, he was single when he
passed away. He was blessed with six biological children, two sons
and four daughters. Yolanda Vaughn gave him two grandchildren,
resulting in four great-grandchildren; Angie Vaughn gave him one
grandchild, resulting in one great-grandchild; Jimmie Johnson, Jr.,
gave him five children, resulting in eleven great-grandchildren; Terell
Wilhite gave him six grandchildren; Janell Johnson gave him one
grandchild; and Summer Johnson Booker (Shaun Booker) gave him
five grandchildren (one deceased). He also had three stepchildren,
Stacey Penny, who gave him one grandchild; Troy Penny, who gave
him two grandchildren; and Oscar Robinson (Charnetta Robinson),
who gave him three grandchildren.
