Bennett Melvin Johnson, son of the late Edward and Helen Johnson, was born on December 26, 1955. He departed this earthly life to be with his Heavenly Father on Tuesday, April 21, 2026.

Bennett received his education in Cincinnati Public Schools and graduated from Withrow High School. Following graduation, he proudly served his country in the United States Army as a Green Beret. He took great pride in his service and his commitment to his country.

Known for his humor and vibrant personality, Bennett was a natural comedian who could bring laughter to any room. He was truly a “jack of all trades,” always willing to lend his skills wherever needed. Above all, he was a kind-hearted soul whose presence left a lasting impact on everyone he encountered.

Bennett was preceded in death by his beloved wife, Joyce McClain Johnson, whom he married on September 26, 2004.

He leaves to cherish his precious memories seven loving siblings: Edward Johnson, Carol Johnson, Gregory Johnson, Daryl Johnson, Vickie Johnson, Diane Johnson (Ricardo), and Eric Johnson.

He also leaves behind four devoted children and one bonus son: Charkquinta Johnson, Kelly Meburnie, Dashquna Ricks, Melynda Johnson-Govan (Christopher), and Danny McClain (Purity).

His legacy continues through his cherished grandchildren: Mikaela, Zemonie, Kyleigh, Ashanti, Arrow, Kyla, and Reggie; along with a host of nieces, nephews, extended family members, and dear friends.

No funeral or memorial service is immediately planned. The family will notify loved ones in the future when a service is scheduled.
