Roland Hunter Johnson III

LORIS-Roland H. Johnson III, 73, was born in Galveston, Texas, Nov. 18, 1951, and entered into his eternal rest at his home in Loris June 28.

Roland was a man full of life, energy, faith, passion and words. Roland was a true Texan by every definition of the word. He loved campfires, storytelling, family and brisket.

Nothing about Roland was small, from his smile to his laugh. He loved deeply all those who entered through his door and loved Jesus more. Family was most important to him; family was not just those born in his house, but any student that desired to understand life.

He was an educator, mentor, biker, guide, advisor, counselor and Jesus freak. All walks of life were welcome to sit around the campfire to discuss their beliefs. He desired so much to help people that he started a chaplaincy program for the Galveston Texas Police Department that reached out and helped many officers and first responders. His passion for people and faith is something that all who knew him will carry on in his memory.

His legacy is one of belief, love, passion and an understanding of God that goes beyond the four walls of a church. It reached the masses whether they were from the streets or from the synagogue. He reached people of all cultures, faiths and beliefs; no one was a stranger to Roland.

Roland was predeceased by his parents, Roland H. Johnson Jr. and Elizabeth Johnson.

He is survived by his wife of almost 44 years, Becky Johnson; his children, Nevin Alonso (Marcos) of Heiskell, Tenn., Roland 鈥淗unter鈥� Johnson IV (Sarah) of Loris, Theodore 鈥淧atrick鈥� Johnson (Tracy) of Tampa, Fla.; his grandchildren, Savannah Barth (Chris), Sadie Alonso, Quinn Johnson, Isaac Johnson, Malachi Johnson, Gia Johnson, Zoey Johnson; great-grandson, Teodoro Barth; brothers and sisters, Laura Guerrero (Jodie) of Cedar Park, Texas, Ray Johnson (Susan) of Burnet, Texas, Ann Hurt (Billy) of Pearland, Texas, and Randy Johnson (Cathy) of San Antonio, Texas; and many loving nieces and nephews.

Roland鈥檚 memorial service will be held at a later date that is still to be determined by the family.
