I Can't Complain will live on...

I am sad to report that Bishop Don Johnson, Memphis TN, passed...not sure if it was last night or this morning.

Please keep the family and church family in your prayers, as well as those traveling to the service.

Bishop will be missed, but his song will remain...

Re: I Can't Complain will live on...

I am so sad to hear this too. He was a wonderful man, and will be greatly missed! I agree, his song, I Can't Complain will live on, and continue to bless. We were part of his church for a couple of years, and the Johnsons blessed and encouraged our family during that time.

Bishop Don Johnson Off to His reward

Just heard the good bishop passed away about 5 hours ago or so. Thank God for his ministry!

He made his address change permanent.

Loved his ministry.

He passed singing praise reading scripture with his family by his side.

What a great loss for us and what a great gain for Heaven. He was a treasure.

Bro. Blume,
What a way to go! I remember a song Bro. Murrell Ewing
used to sing, "How Do I Look Leaving This World". May Bro.
Don Johnson's family be immensely comforted, in Jesus Name!
