Eugene Johnson

Eugene Johnson was welcomed into the world on April 8, 1942 in Tyler, Texas to Goree Lewis and Odell Johnson. During his early childhood years, Goree and Eugene moved to Los Angeles and started a new life with Andrew B. Brumfield. They married and had 5 additional children; Kathy, Kenneth, Darryl, Anthony, and Adrian. As Eugene got older, he realized he had a passion for doing hair and decided to go to Trade Tech College majoring in Cosmetology. After completing and receiving his degree, he was the talk of the town known as the best hairdresser for men and women. During that time, he met the lovely young lady Darlene (Mimi), and it wasn't long before they started a family of their own. He also had a hobby of rebuilding computers and selling them to family and friends.

In May of 2023, his sons Greg and Shawn decided it was time for their Dad to leave Los Angeles and move to Moreno Valley to spend the remainder of his life with them. During that time, they both shared the responsibility of taking care of their dad. There were lots of memories and wisdom shared amongst us all.

Preceding Eugene in death are his parents; Odell Johnson, Goree Brumfield, Andrew Brumfield; sister Kathy Brumfield; nephew Dameon Amos a.k.a. Doo Doo; and grandson Coby Davis.

Eugene is survived by Darlene Johnson, his sons; Greg Johnson (Dia), Shawn Johnson, daughters; Toni Hollis (Stan), Raquel Rembert (Jomar), brothers; Darryl, Kenneth, Anthony, and Adrian, and a very special niece, Desha. 13 Grandchildren; Brandon Ta'Ronnie, Ronnie, Jamari, Tauriona, Lameesha, Tatiana, Sasheana, Mosean, Damontri, Cierra, Kennedy and Schuylar. 12 Great-grandchildren and a host of nieces, nephews, cousins and friends.
