On Saturday, June 6, 2020, Charles Edward Johnson, loving husband, father, and grandfather, passed away suddenly at his home at the age of 64.

Charlie was born in Key West, Florida to Edward and Barbara Johnson. He graduated high school in 1974, and in 1978, obtained his Diesel Mechanics Certification in Tampa, FL. Charlie moved to Houston, TX thereafter and began his profession in Diesel Mechanics. On March 18, 1989, Charlie married the love of his life, Laurie Ann Erickson. They raised 1 son, Jake Edward Johnson, and 1 daughter, Kelsey Rose Johnson, together.

Charlie had a passion for mechanics. Not only had he mastered the craft of automotive mechanics, but he took great interest in the understanding of all mechanics. Charlie was known as "Mr. Fix-It" to those that loved him. He took great pride in helping his friends and family with anything that needed fixing. He was an avid sports lover, primarily of the Houston Astros, Houston Texans, and any and all of his children's sports games. Charlie enjoyed Rock N Roll music and was the life of the party at every event. He was known for his quick wit, his infectious smile, big bear hugs, and his compassionate spirit.
