Johnnie Scott Pearson, 36

 

A graveside memorial service for John “Johnnie” Scott Pearson, 36, of Caulfield, will be held at 10 a.m. Friday, Jan. 31, 2025, in the Elijah Cemetery.

He died Jan. 25, near Caulfield. Johnny was born on July 24, 1988, in West Plains. 

Those who knew Johnny knew him as the type of person who was willing to drop whatever he was doing and help anybody, never expecting anything in return.  

He was a jack of all trades. He loved doing many things and tried doing many different, just to prove he could do it. His passion was mechanical work. It was something his grandfather and father taught him, and he spoke very highly of the skills he learned from the two men he admired and thought the world of.  Johnny loved spending time with his nieces and nephews and other family members. More than anything, his heart belonged to his wife, her children and their grandchildren, who adored their "Pawpaw." He was the life of the party no matter where or what the occasion was, and he was always quick to share a smile or joke. 

He holds a place in each and every one of the hearts of those who knew him and whose lives he touched. There were those like Jeremiah and Waylon, who Johnny bragged about and protected always.

Johnny Pearson is survived by his wife Sherie’ Pearson; their children: Courtney Carter (Stephen Dees), Megan Carter and Michael Carter; their grandchildren: Waylon, Kinley, Addison, Jaxon, Ethan, Gracyln, Hazel and Owen; his parents, Robert and Stephanie Lynn” Pearson of Caulfield; father-in-law, Daniel (Sara) Hodgson Sr. of Udall; brothers: Jerry (Marissa) Pearson, Jason Pearson; and sister Crystal Thomley, all of Caulfield; and brother-in-law, Daniel Hodgson Jr. of Caulfield; as well as numerous nieces and nephews.  

Johnny is preceded in death by his grandparents: Raymond Pearson, John and Anna Martin and Frankie Yoder; and two nieces Madison and Alaina Sly.

 Arrangements are under the direction of Clinkingbeard Funeral Home, Gainesville.
