Built to Last
With strong hands and steady resolve,
John Henry shaped more than stone and ground.
He poured his strength into every day’s work,
Laying foundations meant to stand through time.

A concrete finisher by trade,
But a builder of life, love, and legacy by heart.
From early mornings to weathered evenings,
He labored with pride, patience, and purpose.

Each slab he smoothed, each surface made firm,
Reflected the character he carried within—
Solid, dependable, and true,
A man others could lean on without fear.

Though his tools now rest and his work is complete,
The imprint of his life remains strong and sure.
In the lives he touched and the love he left behind,
John Henry Johnson, Sr.’s legacy stands—
Steady, enduring, and built to last.
