Thomas J. Johnson, a cherished figure and devoted family man, peacefully departed this life on January 19, 2026, at his beloved home, leaving behind a legacy of love and steadfast commitment to those who were fortunate enough to know him. Born on March 20, 1939, in the quaint town of Thomaston, Georgia, Thomas exemplified the values of devotion and simplicity throughout his 86 remarkable years.

As a proud United Auto Worker with the Ford Motor Company, Thomas dedicated his life to shaping not only vehicles but also the lives of those around him. His commitment to his work was rivaled only by his unwavering devotion to his family. A simple man at heart, he found profound joy and fulfillment in the bonds he cultivated with his loved ones—ever present and always dependable, he was the quiet strength everyone could lean on in times of need.

Thomas’s legacy of love is most prominently carried on by his beloved wife, Nina J. Ausbrooks Johnson. Together, they wove a tapestry of cherished memories, each thread rich in laughter, compassion, and mutual support. The warmth of their partnership serves as an enduring testament to what it means to love deeply and unconditionally.
