OBIT JOHNSON, J.
JOHNSON, JAMES S. James Stacy Johnson, beloved son of James M. (Monty)
and Mary E. Johnson passed away on Sunday, March 1, 1992 at the age of 19.
Stacy died peacefully in his sleep following a long and courageous battle with
acute leukemia and its complications. He was a 1990 honor graduate of William
Byrd High School and the Roanoke Valley Governor's School and attended The
College of William and Mary as a Monroe Scholar. Stacy was preceded in death
by his paternal grandparents, James Alcoy and Anna Martin Johnson. In addition
to his parents, he is survived by his maternal grandparents, Mr. and Mrs.
Howard E. Echols, Roanoke; maternal great-grandmother, Mrs. W.P. Echols,
Roanoke; several aunts, uncles and cousins; and many loyal and devoted
friends. His friends and his books were the greatest treasures of his life.
The family wishes to express appreciation to the following for their
continuing care and support: Dr. Lowell Inhorn and his associates; and staff
of Oncology and Hematology Associates; Dr. Henry Ivey; the first-floor nursing
staff of Roanoke Memorial Rehab Center; the faculty, staff and student body of
Arnold R. Burton Technology Center; the faculty, staff and student body of
William Byrd High School; the pastors, staff and congregation of Thrasher
Memorial United Methodist Church and of the many other Roanoke Valley churches
whose members have regularly included Stacy on their prayer lists. A special
thank you to Gail Foley, Stacy's "guardian angel" throughout his illness. A
memorial service will be conducted at 7:00 p.m. on Tuesday at Thrasher
