Interment will be held at Desoto Memorial Gardens (630 Star Landing Road East, Southaven, MS 38672). Luke Smith will be officiating. Andy was born December 13, 1969, in Memphis, TN. He was a trivia guru and a total movie buff. Being a fun storyteller was something he was proud of. Documentaries of all kinds were his favorite to watch. His family described him as having a sense of humor like none other, and he kept them laughing constantly. He was a “closet karaoke singer” because he had an outstanding voice that sounded like Michael Buble but struggled to get over his stage fright and actually get on a stage to sing. He was an avid football fan and never missed a chance at cheering on his Mississippi State Bulldogs. He was a proud member of Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity at MSU and will forever be a lifelong Bulldog. Andy loved basketball and participating in March Madness. Being able to flip high scores on the video game “Galaga” was a challenge he took pride in accomplishing multiple times. He was an “out of this world” Star Wars fan. Above all else, he loved his wife, Claire, and the puppers, Mr. Max and Minnie Mae Blues. He loved with his whole heart. He was most passionate about those he cared about. His family was his number one priority. Andy leaves behind an amazing legacy and will be missed by all who knew him. He is survived by his wife, Clarice “Claire” Johnson of Olive Branch; his mother, Fay Johnson; his sister, Julie Johnson (David Jones); his stepsons: Taylor Butts (Jaycee Torian), Connor “Riley” Butts (Savannah Hale), and Trevor Butts; and his grandson, Xander Ramos. Andy was preceded in death by his father, Bob Johnson.
