Billy Johnson

October 4, 1953 — November 21, 2024

Billy Wendell Johnson, known as Wendell, 71, of Calhoun, Georgia, passed away on Thursday, November 21, 2024. He was born in Heflin, Alabama on October 4, 1953, to Melvie Newborn Johnson and the late Billy James Johnson.

In addition to his mother, he is survived by his sister, Glenda Petty; several nieces and nephews also survive.

His family moved to Calhoun in 1961, and he attended Calhoun High School. Due to complications at birth, he suffered from mental illness. He resided with his parents and was lovingly cared for by them. His father passed away in 2021, and his health began to decline rapidly. In 2022, he was admitted to Calhoun Health Care, where he received the additional help required. The staff at Calhoun Health Care did a wonderful job of lovingly caring for Wendell. His mother was by his bedside daily, encouraging him and providing him whatever he desired. Wendell will be missed by his devoted, loving mother and his family.

The family will receive friends on Tuesday, November 26, 2024, from 1:00 PM until 2:00 PM at Erwin Hill Church of God.
