Jack Samuel

Johnson

Jack Samuel Johnson, of Newport News, Virginia departed this life on January 25, 2026. He was born in Brooklyn, New York to Delores Johnson and Jackie Farnsworth. He later moved to Virgina where he started a family and remained until the end of his life. Jack was a father to three children, Naomi Williams, Michael and Jackie Harvin. He is survived by his two daughters, Naomi and Jackie, three grandsons, Navon Fraierson, Omar Cephas, and Bryce Jackson, and two great-grandsons, Nolan Fraierson and Armani Cephas.

Jack was an easy-going man that enjoyed life. His smile and laugh were infectious. He was always very active; in his youth he was an amateur boxer and taught those sharp skills to his son and grandson. He also enjoyed bike riding, as he matured, he continued to bike several miles a day to maintain his fitness. Jack was an avid Giants fan and would watch them play regardless of their standing (the bums he would yell, especially when they would lose to the Cowboys). He was also active in his local mosque and volunteered at temple regularly. More than anything he enjoyed spending time with his family, he'd spend Christmas singing holiday classics and weekends with his grandsons watching comedies or attending their sporting events.

Jack will be greatly missed by his family and friends.
