Billie Lynn Johnson, 69, known to his family and friends as “Butchie” and “Jab Dogg”, received the promise of eternal life on Tuesday, October 27, 2020. He was born in Racine on January 10, 1951, son of the late Lonzo and Chinnie (Née: Burks) Johnson.
Billie graduated from Washington Park High School in 1969. He then graduated from Gateway Technical College with an Associate Degree in Business. Billie proudly and faithfully served his country in the United States Army. He was an Expediter for Johnson Wax until his retirement. He enjoyed having and driving nice cars. He was a sports lover and enjoyed rooting for his local home teams. Billie also enjoyed playing pool and darts with his Mr. Kool’s family and friends. In his spare time, he enjoyed doing crossword puzzles and being a volunteer math tutor at Gateway Technical College.
Billie leaves to cherish his memory, his brothers and sisters, Martha Souter, Charles (Rosalind) Johnson, Dorothy (Jessie) Robinson, Joyce (Claude) Caldwell, Chris Johnson, Sr.; nieces and nephews, Wendy Souter, Ronald “Fidel” Robinson, Sr., Staci Kimmons, Brittany Johnson, Courtney Johnson, Chris Johnson, Jr.; great-nieces and great-nephews, Tiffany Robinson, Ronald “Fidel” Robinson, Jr., Julian Robinson, Fadarious (Krista) Robinson, Lexi Johnson, Alonzo Johnson, Q Harrison Terry, Alexis Terry, Miles Terry, Kyla Adams, Bryce Johnson; great-great-nieces and nephews, Harper Alaka, Cain Robinson, Kouper Robinson, Siadh Robinson, Aloni Robinson; other relatives and friends too numerous to mention.
In addition to his parents, Billie is preceded in death by his brother, John Johnson; and great-niece, Tysheka Robinson.

I worked with Billie for many years at J-Wax (Bldg. 59). We had many laughs together! We both loved doing crossword puzzles and helping each other with them. We also worked together and helped each other on the new SAP system. He was kind and funny. I’m happy to have known him. May God bless Billie, his family and all of his loved ones. He will be dearly missed.
