Johnson; wife, Denise McGriff Johnson; children Kassie (Michael) Haskins and Denisha (Cordell) Bennett; his siblings Janene (Timothy) Jordan, of Hampton, VA, and Theresa, of McKeesport. He is also survived by an uncle, aunts, nephews, nieces, cousins, and many caring friends. He was preceded in death by his father James E. Johnson and brother Jamal E. Johnson.
James “Duane” was shy to most, but was known as the family prankster from a child to an adult. He loved to laugh and listen to music. He loved to watch sports, especially boxing. He will be missed and remembered by many. He will live on in the young lives of his granddaughters and the individuals that received his life saving donations.
