Eric Michael Johnson

January 18, 1987 — July 22, 2026

We are celebrating the life Eric Michael Johnson, a beloved son, father, brother, and friend, who departed from us on July 22, 2026. Born on January 18, 1987, in Detroit, Michigan, Eric's journey was one marked by love, laughter, and dedication. Eric grew up in a family that cared for him deeply. He was the cherished son of Jennifer Johnson and Eric Walston, and the stepson of Melvin Jackson who played a significant role in his life. Eric was a devoted father to his children, Eric Jr., Quentin, Erica, and Arynn, whose lives he enriched with his unwavering love and playful spirit. A proud graduate of Southfield High School's class of 2006, Eric also pursued further education where he received his certificate of completion as a pharmacy technician in 2009. He was known for his attention to detail, both in his professional life and in his personal appearance, always dressing to perfection. Eric leaves behind siblings Anthony, Ebony, Delano, Jennifer II, and a blend of step-siblings who were all blessed by his presence. His warmth and humor also touched a host of nieces, nephews, cousins, aunts, and countless friends who became family. Eric was a "mama's boy," and his bond with his mother, Jennifer, was a testament to the love and respect he had for his family. His outgoing spirit and supportive nature made him a joy to all who knew him. Eric had an innate ability to brighten any room he entered, leaving a lasting impression on all who crossed his path. His passing leaves a void in the hearts of many, but his legacy of kindness, style, and support lives on in the memories he created with those he loved. Eric Michael Johnson has a beloved soul that has touched many lives."will be dearly missed, but his spirit will continue to guide and inspire those who were fortunate enough to know him. May he rest in eternal peace.
