Robert Howard Johnson

Robert Howard "Bob" Johnson, age 62, passed away on November 13, 2022. Born February 22, 1960, to Billy and Rita Johnson, Bob grew up in Chester, VA. In addition to his parents, he is survived by his wife of 39 years, Teresa; daughter, Kristin (Matt) Taylor; and grandchildren, Hadley and Jackson. He is also survived by his sister, Diane Johnson; brother, Jeffrey "Jeff" Johnson; and numerous sisters and brothers-in-law, as well as, nieces and nephews.
Bob was a graduate of Thomas Dale High School and Virginia Commonwealth University. He then worked in the family's insurance business for many years, followed by 20 years as a Claims Manager, at Sentry Insurance Company. Bob was an avid hunter, angler, and outdoorsman, with a love for Civil War history, and enjoyed visiting Civil War Parks and Battlefields, eventually becoming a docent at Pamplin Historical Park.
He was a longtime member of St. John's Episcopal Church, in Chester, where he was married, and where his daughter and grandchildren were baptized.
Bob was also an avid reader, great home chef, and enjoyed sharing music and food with family and friends - and nothing was more important to him than family. His daughter, Kristin, was the apple of his eye, only matched by the love for his grandchildren. Though gone way too soon, Bob demonstrated a love of life and others, that will live on in all who knew and loved him.
The family will receive friends from 4:00pm - 6:00pm, Sunday, November 20, 2022, at J.T. Morriss & Son Funeral Home, Chester, VA. A Memorial Service will be held at 11:00am, on Monday, November 21, 2022 at St. John's Episcopal Church, 12201 Richmond St., Chester, VA.
