Marcus Johnson
1965-05-05 2022-02-08
A Loving Brother, Nephew, Uncle, & Friend
On May 5, 1965 in Tulsa, Oklahoma a bouncing baby boy was born to Thrill and Dorothy Johnson whom
they named Marcus Wayne Johnson. Marcus was to a family where there were seven children, and in
those seven children were two sets of twins. Marcus happens to be one those sets. Marcus twin was a
girl and they named her Marsha Jayne, there were two bouncing babies. Marcus was a shy child, and
eventually he broke out of that. He became a loving out loud vibrant person.
Marcus formative education was attended at Tulsa Public Schools, including Robert Frost and Edison
High School. He was a graduate in the class of 1983. After graduation Marcus wanted to travel and
adventure out on his own from Tulsa. His journey took him to different states, where he made bonds
with some great people whom loved him dearly. Marcus had a unique special bond with Alice Barnett,
Diane and Derron Lee.
Marcus worked as a Scheduler/Track Allocation Coordinator, Joint Venture Companies for MARTA, onto
working as a Project Controls Lead/Lead Scheduler, Parsons Brinckerhoff in Honolulu, HI. Marcus work
as a Project Controls Planner and Scheduler, for Yonkers Industries Inc., Senior Project Controls Manager
for the City of Atlanta, Watershed Management Division), Senior Project Controls Manager (DC
Water/SPM), Senior Project Controls Manager, Atkins Global, Senior Technical Specialist-Scheduler,
Mott McDonald, Deputy Program Manager, SG Contracting Inc.
Marcus loved hosting parties, reading, cooking, traveling, going on cruises, wine tasting, and was a
lover of art. He had a great eye for decorating and enjoyed what life had to offer. To know Marcus was
to love him, he had a sense of humor that was out of this world. You could laugh for hours, he would
have your stomach hurting, have you out of breath or asking him to stop.
On February 8, 2022 God added the finishing touches to Marcus’s heavenly mansion and called him back
home to rest. For as much as we will miss Marcus’ presence, we rejoice as we celebrate.
Marcus was preceded in death by his parents Thrill and Dorothy Johnson, one brother Kenneth Johnson,
two nieces Lynn Fields-Ivey and Candy L. Johnson.

Johnson; his sisters Rashedda Frazier (Bryan), Lashedda (Damon), and Opal Johnson; three aunts Estella
Barnett, Gladys Payne, and Alma Grant, there was a quit made for him that he never got to see. Little
