Life Relictions

Marcus Errol Johnson Sr. was born on June 06, 1986 to
Cathy Johnson and Albert Murphy in Cleveland, Ohio. He was the oldest
of his siblings and loved his youngest sibling Jennifer Hunter dearly. As
a child and throughout his life he spent a lot of time with his mom, his
sister and his maternal grandmother Erlene Johnson who was very
fond of her oldest grandson. He was her baby. He also enjoyed a close
relationship and fond memories growing up with his Aunt Bridget and
his first cousins LaShunae Johnson, Mayshun Hall Jr. and Bertrand
Lewis Jr. He also spent time with his paternal grandmother Elizabeth
Murphy, who loved her 2nd oldest grandson dearly, and he enjoyed
going over her house spending time with his oldest cousin Bernard
Womack and younger cousin Raquel Addison. As a teenager he
attended Euclid City public schools and it was often just the three of
them: Marcus, Jennifer and Cathy growing up.
Marcus loved his mom and she loved him very much and supported
all his dreams wishing only the best for her baby. She along with his
grandparents and her village, taught him the value of good manners
and courtesy, and that hospitality is no small thing. He also learned
"that there is no excuse for poor craftsmanship," which helped him
become more in touch with his creative side and become a builder at
heart, constructing numerous projects. One of the projects he made
remains in his sister's backyard and will be a constant reminder of how
truly talented a person he was and how much he took pride in his
work. When he was building, he was doing what he loved.
Marcus also loved his role as big brother. With the five-year
difference he would often babysit his little sister Jennifer when they
were younger, cooking her meals, even if he got scolded by mom,
because that was his little sister and the bond was real. His sister
Jennifer was his friend, his confidant, and, more often than either of
them would like to admit, his bridge over troubled waters.
