Michael Jamell Johnson, 37, departed his life here on earth, November 6, 2024. He was born on March 5, 1987, in Fredericksburg, VA to Deidre "Lynn" Poole and the late Michael James Johnson.

Michael was preceded in death by his paternal grandparents, Austin Melvin Johnson and Patricia Ann Johnson, and his maternal grandparents, William Poole, Sr. and Loretta Grimes-Poole.

He attended Fredericksburg City Public Schools and enjoyed playing football and basketball for James Monroe High School. Subsequently, he earned his GED. Michael had a strong work ethic and held several jobs, including Manager positions in food service. Ambitious, he pursued a long-term goal and earned his Commercial Driver's License (CDL) in 2020, an accomplishment of which he was very proud. He enjoyed driving dump trucks for GFL and Thompson Trucking.

Michael was an avid sports fan, and he was a devoted Washington Commanders fan. He also enjoyed watching movies. You could always count on Michael to have a good joke or two to share with others. Most of all, he enjoyed spending time with his family and close friends.

He was the proud father of a son, Wise Johnson, and the loving bonus parent to a daughter, Trinity Berry, whom he shared with Loretta Pittman.

Mourning the loss of their son, father, and brother are mother, Deidre; children, Wise and Trinity; siblings, Tyia Poole, Sharece Johnson-Finner (Antoine), Mario Johnson (Kristen), Kevin Poole, Sentoria Poole, and William Keys. An abundance of love was also shared by all his aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, cousins, and many friends.

A memorial service will be held at A.L. Bennett and Son Funeral Home on Saturday, November 16, 2024, at 10:00 AM. The interment will be held privately.
