Aaron Lavell Johnson, Sr. transitioned from this journey of life to rest comfortably in the arms of our Heavenly Father on Friday, May 5, 2023. He was born to Albert and Marva Johnson in Newburgh, New York on April 20, 1970.

Aaron was educated in the Newburgh City School District. He participated in extracurricular activities, like playing football and basketball and prided himself on his athletic achievements, he was “THE Diabolical Booski.” While there was much to learn within the four walls, there was no classroom that could contain his nature – he wanted to learn and explore on his own. Doing things in his own way afforded Aaron the opportunity to gain skills in many different areas, such as industrial cleaning, roof installation, chemical waste management and disposal, as well as disaster relief and recovery, like the work he performed during Hurricane Katrina. He always seemed to find a job that aided others – it was clear that he had a passion for helping people.

&
Aaron was also loved for his infectious smile and playful nature.
&
While he was a Giants superfan, he was an even bigger fan of his Lord and Savior. On July 22, 2007, the day after his wedding, Aaron gave his life back to Christ at Enoch Baptist Church. He changed his life and vowed to live a better path, not only for himself, but as an example to his wife, children and all those that admired him. He served on the Male Usher Board for a short time, however, he knew his place was praising the Lord from the front pew, while supporting his wife as she grew in ministry. He was proud of the woman of God she was/is and wanted nothing more than to make her burden light while she worked to #DoGod.
