Born in Sulphur, Louisiana on February 17, 1936, Kenneth was the son of August "Judge" W. Johnson and Thelma Venissat Johnson. He was a pharmacist at William's Pharmacy in Orange for years before opening Pinehurst Pharmacy, and then later retired from Wal-Mart Pharmacy. Kenneth loved working out in his yard and enjoyed his flowers.

Kenneth was so intelligent and had a great sense of humor. Some of the things he was most proud of in life was being an alter server when he was a young boy. He was a pharmacist who had such a passion for his work that even until his last days he dreamed and acted out as though he was still hard at work. But mostly Kenneth loved life, loved his family and was filled with so much faith.

He was preceded in death by his parents; the love of his life, Lula Mae Johnson; son, Randy Johnson; and brother, Robert L. Johnson. Kenneth is survived by his daughter Dana Price of Orange; grandchildren, Ashleigh Price and Courtney Price; brother, J.W. "T. Boy" Johnson and wife, Eleanor; brother-in-laws, Louis "Lee" Leger and James Ray Leger; sister-in-law, Betty Hanchey and husband, Gene; special puppy, Angel; and numerous nieces and nephews.

Serving as Pallbearers will be Donnie Harmon, James Ray Leger, Louis Leger, Mark Howard, Mark Johnson, Mike Johnson and Steve Leger.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Parkinson's Disease Foundation, 833 W. Washington St., Chicago, IL 60607.
