Alan Curtis Johnson III

ALAN’S JOURNEY The world became a brighter place on February 6, 1985, when Alan Johnson III (Al, Lil Al, and Al$kee Dollar$) was born in Mountain Home, Idaho, to Jacqueline Johnson and Alan Johnson, Jr. He departed this life on Monday, August 19, 2024, at his home in Salisbury, Maryland. At the age of six, Alan along with his family moved to the state of Maryland, where he received his education in Somerset and Wicomico County Public Schools. Alan graduated from Wicomico High School in Salisbury, Maryland in 2003. Growing up, Alan, along with his family, attended Mills Memorial Baptist Temple in Salisbury, Maryland. There he attended Sunday School and sang in the Children’s Choir. On Sunday, August 18, 2024, the day before his passing, he rededicated his life to Christ at Faith Center International House of Prayer, where Reverend Robin Belote is the Pastor. Alan loved to listen to music. He would listen to beats from songs and then use his gift of rhyming to write a freestyle. He had dreams of starting his record label called $hore $ide. Ent. He loved going on long walks, visiting family and friends, and being with his dog Dice. Alan was a fun-loving guy who loved to tell jokes and to make people laugh. Alan was not a stranger to hard work as he obtained his CDL Class B license from Wor-Wic Community College, and spent many years employed with Shore Transit, as a bus driver. Shortly after completing an HVAC program, Alan was diagnosed with Diabetic Retinopathy, which caused him to lose his sight completely. He was determined to work even after losing his sight and briefly worked at Blind Industries until his health declined. On February 14, 2016, Alan and his wife Shameka Jeudi were joined in holy matrimony. The two shared seventeen (17) years of love and eight (8) years of marriage. A word to describe Alan and Shameka’s relationship was loving and unique. When Alan's health became challenging, his wife was faithful, dedicated, and involved in his care. Earlier on in their marriage, the couple attended Awakening Ministries in Salisbury, Maryland. Alan is survived by: his loving wife, Shameka Johnson; daughter, Nariah Johnson and stepson, Jakai Pinkett; his mother, Jacqueline Johnson; father, Alan Johnson, Jr. (Lisa); grandmother whom he adored, Johnnie May Johnson; three sisters, Alicia Bond (Joshua), Erica Johnson and Tatiana Johnson; two brothers, Andrew Johnson and Christopher Johnson; a host of nieces and nephews, Kyira, Edward, Jr., Joshua, Logan, Elianna, Isaiah, Brielle, Skylar, Corbin, Uriah, Demire and Moses; mother-in-law, Amy Deal; two sisters-in-law, Demahza and Tiera; Godmother, Doris Moton; Godchildren, Deziana Gale, Markee “Boog” Dashiell, Jr. and Davon Jefferson; a bonus mom “Mommy” Virginia Parker; two bonus sisters, Chikra “Chicken” Cheavers and Takira “Tack” Cheavers, and special friends, Mary, Russ and Charles, “his bday twin.” He was preceded in death by his maternal grandparents, Robert and Dolly Fisher, paternal grandfather, Alan Johnson, Sr. and his brother, Edward Johnson, Sr. To know him was to love him. We will always keep your memory in our hearts. Lovingly Submitted ~ The Family
