William M. Johnson Jr.

May 6, 2026

William Monroe Johnson Jr., a man who valued faith, family and friends, passed away at the age of 99 on May 6, 2026, in Birmingham, Alabama. Bill had an incredibly rewarding life that he shared with his beloved wife, Carolyn, and their three children: Julie, Billy, and Thomas. Bill and Carolyn were a team throughout their 68-year marriage. She was a planner and organizer and he helped her “big ideas” become reality. He grew flowers for her to arrange and helped cook for the social gatherings she planned.

Bill was a devout Christian who faithfully served the Lord throughout his life. He was a member of Mountain Brook Baptist Church where he served for over 40 years in a variety of roles, including Sunday School teacher, chairman of the deacons, and mission trip participant. He also modeled serving others through his involvement with multiple non-profit organizations including: Rotary International, Builders for Christ, Habitat for Humanity, Impact Family Counseling, Salvation Army, and Judson College Dads Club.

Bill was the first-born child of William Monroe Johnson, Sr., and Jessie Reece Johnson. He was born in Boonville, North Carolina, at his Reece grandparents’ farm on March 13, 1927. He grew up in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, along with his four siblings. Bill met Carolyn Campbell when they were both students at James A. Gray High School in Winston-Salem. They dated for seven years while Bill served in the US Navy and completed a business degree at the University of North Carolina (Class of 1950). Bill remained a rabid Tar Heels basketball fan throughout his life. Bill began working for Southern Bell in North Carolina and was transferred to Louisiana and Alabama before retiring from BellSouth in Birmingham after a 36-year career serving business and residential telephone customers.

Bill learned a lot when he and his double first cousin Clyde Johnson began spending the summers at their Reece grandparents’ farm when they were 8 years old. Bill recounted the lesson he learned while helping their grandmother weed the strawberry patch. Bill asked her if they could quit. She told him to “keep on” and when he challenged her saying, “we’ve been keepin’ on!” she replied, “well, keep on keepin’ on!” The lessons Bill learned at home and on the Reece farm helped him become a builder, creative problem solver, gardener, chef and golfer. Bill built furniture, decorative shelves, bookcases and play houses for his grandchildren. He kicked into supervisor mode when he and Carolyn built their dream home to celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary in 2000. He commented that he watched just about every nail get hammered into the house that their architect son Thomas had designed for them. Bill kept the tradition of an annual family golf weekend in the North Carolina mountains going, too, playing with his father, uncles, brothers, sons, cousins and friends.

William M. Johnson, Jr. enjoyed his 99th birthday party on March 13 with family and friends in Birmingham. He is survived by his children, Julie Johnson Coulter (Dan) of Winston-Salem, NC, Dr. William M. Johnson, III (Debbie) of Birmingham, AL, and Thomas L. Johnson (Emma) of Chattanooga; nine grandchildren and fifteen greatgrandchildren; his brother, Dr. J. Barry Johnson of Winston-Salem, NC; and numerous cousins, nieces and nephews. The Johnson family will be eternally grateful for Jackie Johnson, Wonda Riley and Yolanda Hill who have been faithful caregivers for Bill in the last years of his life. His face would light up when they came into his view. They enriched his life every day as they cared for him and helped him to “keep on keepin’ on.”

Mountain Brook Baptist Church will host visitation with the family at 10:00 a.m. and memorial service at 11:00 a.m. on Friday, May 15, 2026 (located at 3631 Montevallo Road, Birmingham, AL, 35213). Memorial contributions may be made to Mountain Brook Baptist Church and Rotary International Foundation.

Ronald Pierce Layne

March 20, 2026

Ronald Pierce Layne died peacefully at his home in Birmingham, Alabama, on Friday, March 20, 2026. Born in Ashland, Kentucky, his family later moved to Oak Ridge, Tennessee, where he met and married his high school sweetheart, Ann Keeney Layne. Together they celebrated nearly 70 years of marriage and a lifetime of selfless service.

Lovingly known by family and friends as “Dad,” he left a legacy of faith, generosity, laughter, and pure joy. Every day, he announced, “We are blessed,” and blessed we have been. His parents, Howard and Ruby Layne, taught him well. In a time when husbands and fathers went to work and came home and propped up their feet, he paced the floor all night with his fussy children, vacuumed and mopped and washed dishes (often before the person eating was actually finished eating), and entertained his children.

As a former Rotary District Governor, he imbodied the “Rotary 4-Way Test” in all areas of his life. His career spanned 50+ years with the majority of his time as an electrical engineer at Rust and BE&K. As a concerned member of the National Society of Professional Engineers, he and a friend recognized the need for changes in middle school mathematics and created MATHCOUNTS, now recognized nationally.

A man of few words, Dad led by example. He taught his family to give freely without question, to see a need and do something about it, and to live life to its fullest. His children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren watched and learned what a life of service to others looked like. Dad loved people well.

As a lifetime deacon at Huffman Baptist Church, middle school Sunday School teacher, and member of the Happy Hearts choir, he was at the church every time the doors opened. With his Bible in his lap, he spent hours sitting in a cozy room at home reading and studying and praying. Dad knew and served the Lord, his Shepherd.

Dad’s work ethic was impeccable, and he loved to see a plan come together. It didn’t matter what the plan might be. He simply loved watching all the pieces fall into place. As he “measured twice and cut once” dorm room carpet, worked a thousand-piece jigsaw puzzle, built Christmas toys in the wee hours of the night, or any other task that required deep concentration, his tongue wagged back and forth – a quirky trait that found its way into future generations.

He was a faithful member of St. Peter’s Anglican Church and served as a board member, trustee, or volunteer to countless organizations including Boy Scouts of America, Camp ASCCA, and Mobile College. Most importantly, he was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, and friend. Whistling his way through life and cheering on his UT Vols, he kept people hopping and roaring with laughter. He will be greatly missed and lovingly remembered.

He is survived by his wife, Ann Keeney Layne, his two children Ronald Pierce Layne, Jr. (Odessa) and his daughter Jordan Layne Sanders (Mark), his five grandchildren, Laurin Sanders White (Bryan), Ian Hunter Layne (Caroline), Layne Michelle Sanders, Zachary McKibben Sanders (Anna), and Kieran Wolfgang “Wolfie” Layne, his four greatgrandchildren, Tucker Shields White, Levi McKibben Sanders, Vaughan Sanders White, and Campbell Brock Sanders, and his sister Elizabeth Layne “Libby” Rogers (Mark). He is preceded in death by his parents, Howard Taft and Ruby Ball Layne and his brothers, Howard Lester “Sonny” Layne and Leonard Raymond “Skip” Layne.

A celebration of his life will be held at St. Peter’s Anglican Church on Tuesday, March 31, 2026 at 11:00. Visitation with the family will precede the service beginning at 10:15 am. In lieu of flowers, please make donations to St. Peter’s Anglican Church, Rotary International PolioPlus Fund, or Camp ASCCA.

John Marshall Wilson

October 23 2025

John Marshall Wilson, 67, a resident of Luverne, passed away unexpectedly at Baptist Medical Center East in Montgomery on Thursday, Oct. 23, while surrounded by his family. Funeral services for John will be held at 2 p.m. on Monday, Oct. 27, at First Baptist Church of Luverne with Brother Clay Crum officiating. Interment will follow in Luverne Emmaus Cemetery with Turners Funeral Home of Luverne directing.

ohn was the heart and soul of Super Foods. His family bought the store in 1971 and, except while away for school, John worked there for the rest of his life. He earned his bachelor’s in business from Samford University in Birmingham and was a member of Alpha Phi Omega Service Fraternity. While there, he loved being part of the BSU Choir and touring all over Europe with the Continental Singers… which included learning how seriously to take their bus getting a little too close to the Soviet Union while in Poland during the Cold War! Throughout his life, John was always a vital and integral part of his community. He never failed to serve that community, whether it was with the Luverne Rotary Club, where he not only served as District Governor in 2001 – 2002 but was also considered a “Rotary Legend,” or as a deacon with First Baptist Church of Luverne. He was also a member of the Alabama Grocers Association, as well as being a long-time board member and one-time chairman, who honored him as their 2012 Retailer of the Year. He was always and without fail generous with his community as he donated to educational programs in both Crenshaw and Butler counties as well as DHR, local law enforcement, the Luverne Public Library, and many, many more. That fierce generosity and love for the place he called home was why the Chamber of Commerce chose him as their 2014 Citizen of the Year.

John suffered from chronic health issues for much of his life, but he was a true inspiration for how he never allowed that to keep him down. He showed up for work every day and was the epitome of what a good citizen and human looks like. In his free time, he loved hunting and fishing, traveling, and his favorite classic TV shows like “Murder, She Wrote” and “The Andy Griffith Show.” He was also a big fan of American History, especially that of our military. It should come as no surprise however that his love of music stayed with him throughout his life. Like most southerners, he certainly loved his country music, especially his “country girlfriend” Carrie Underwood, but nothing spoke to this tenor’s heart like musical theater. From seeing Chorus Line, Chicago and numerous others in the theater or singing along with Hugh Jackman’s The Greatest Showman at home or in the car, John was there for all of it.

Never doubt that John was the “OG Girl Dad!” Bless him, a house full of women would drive most men crazy, but not him. Oh no, he absolutely loved every second of it, even when they all tried to manage his life for him… as we women “might” tend to do! No doubt they are a big part of why he always kept such a huge, open heart for everyone. He enjoyed every moment working with the employees who became part of his big extended family. That family included his customers, especially the older ladies who were always his best customers. And who would be surprised by how much both his employees and customers loved him back? With his generous, kind heart who never failed to be one of the friendliest people you’d ever meet. He was also just a big goofball who appreciated all different kinds of humor. Above all, he was a devoted husband, father and PopPop who loved his family like they were worth more than all the legendary gold in Fort Knox because he knew they most certainly were. There was nothing he enjoyed more than spending time with them, especially during the holidays. His presence always loomed large within his family and words cannot express how much he will be sorely missed by them. All of Luverne mourns with them as John will continue to be remembered for his selfless love and the generosity of his oversized heart.

John was preceded in death by his parents, John “Jimmy” Edmon and Alyce Pearl Marshall Wilson. He is survived by his beloved wife of 40 years, Lillian Kelley Wilson; their daughters, Heather Marie Wilson, Kelley Nicole Wilson-Derby (Anthony), Lauren Ashley (Nick) Atkinson and Savannah Grace Wilson (Beau) Spivey; grandchildren, Alyce Mae Wilson-Derby, Owen Wilson Atkinson, Madison Pearl Atkinson, Taytum Jeffery Spivey, Wrenlee-Kate Marie Spivey (due to make her arrival in December), Willow Grace Spivey and Cooper Reid Spivey and a host of extended family members, friends and members of the Super Foods Family.

Active pallbearers are Jimmy Morgan, Kyle Richburg, Larry Robinson, Glenn Schneider, Merrill Sport and Steve Sanders. Serving as honorary pallbearers are David Smyth, the deacons of First Baptist Church and the former members of the Luverne Rotary Club.

In his Citizen of the Year speech, John explained why he loved his home so much: “I’ve traveled across the United States, through Europe… and of all the places I’ve been. I’ve yet to be to any place that is better, or stands out better, than Crenshaw County.” That love is the tremendous legacy he will always be remembered and treasured for.

James C. “Jim” Shrader

July 11, 2025

James C. “Jim” Shrader, September 20, 1937 – July 11, 2025 of Findlay, Ohio, entered into the presence of his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ—reuniting joyfully in Heaven with his beloved wife, Sue, and cherished grandson, Gregory. With renewed body and spirit, Jim is now dancing on streets of gold, finally face-to-face with the Savior he faithfully served throughout his life.

Born in North Jackson on September 20, 1937, Jim was the son of the late C.J. and Florence Shrader, who preceded him in death, along with his sister, Barbara Heamon.

On June 13, 1959, he married the love of his life, Sue Ann Kamerer, who preceded him in death on October 6, 2018. Jim is survived by three children: Chris (Terri) Shrader of Fairhope, Alabama; Jeff (Elsa) Shrader; and Carolyn (David) Copus, both of Findlay, Ohio. He is also survived by five grandchildren and one step-grandson: Jacob (Meghan Holst) of Marietta, GA; Austin Shrader of Denver, CO; Jonathan (Emily) Shrader of New Albany, OH; Graham (Kenidi), Hunter (Skyler), and Tyler Copus, all of Findlay; and one great-grandson, Callum Copus.

Jim graduated from Findlay High School in 1955 and earned a business degree from Bowling Green State University. After graduation, he proudly served in the U.S. Army, stationed at Fort Knox, KY, where he achieved the rank of Captain.

Following his military service, Jim entered into partnership and became President of Findlay International, a company that sold farming equipment, Scouts, semi-trucks, and lawn and snow equipment until 2001. He later joined Findlay Ford as a salesman—working for his fellow Rotarian Stan Kujawa and later the Reineke family—continuing to serve customers with integrity and joy until 2024.

Jim’s greatest pride and joy was his family. Summers were filled with unforgettable memories at Platte Lake and later at the family cottage in Petoskey, Michigan—days of tubing, sailing, dune climbing, and evening bonfires. He especially loved winter and skied well into his early 70s. Jim also cherished time spent on Little Traverse Bay, polishing Petoskey stones and being active in the Bay View Methodist Association. Whether at the family cottage or at home—always organized by his beloved “Susie”—family gatherings were the heartbeat of his life.

Jim’s life was marked by unwavering faith, servant leadership, and a deep compassion for others. A lifelong member of St. Mark’s United Methodist Church, Jim truly embodied the Rotary motto of “Service Above Self.” His answer to those in need was always a heartfelt and enthusiastic “yes.”

A devoted Rotarian, Jim served as Past President of the Findlay Rotary Club and as District Governor. He participated in multiple humanitarian missions to Central America and Nigeria, where he courageously delivered polio vaccines.

At home, Jim served in numerous roles—never for recognition, but always with purpose. He offered rides, visited the sick, and supported countless causes. He served as Vice President and Board Member (later Emeritus) of the Blanchard Valley Health Foundation, helping to facilitate the fundraising for the new patient pavilion. He also served as Chairman of the Winebrenner Board, overseeing the expansion of the nursing care facility to its Eastern Woods location. Jim played key roles in the MESA Committee, the Findlay-Hancock County Chamber of Commerce (as Past Chairman), and was a founding member of the original Art Partnership/Festival Committee—recruited, of course, because he had a truck and a heart ready to help.

Jim often said, “I’m just ordinary, but when you put me with others, we become extraordinary.” He lived that belief every day.

Jim also had a gift for music and a passion for singing. He was a founding member of the Millstream Singers, and most recently sang in the St. Mark’s and the 50 North choir.

He led by example. A man of humility and generosity, Jim quietly made an indelible mark on his community for over six decades. He mentored others, shared wisdom freely, and lived out the values of faith, integrity, compassion, and service.

Jim leaves behind a legacy of kindness, purpose, and faith. He is survived by his loving family and countless friends and Rotarians whose lives are better because they knew him.

He didn’t just talk about giving back—he lived it. And in doing so, Jim Shrader made the world, especially his corner of it, a more caring and hopeful place.

The family would like to extend its greatest gratitude to his home health caregiver, Kellie from Cornerstone Caregivers, his family physician, Dr. Mark Fox, his cardiologist, Dr. Gregory Gerschutz, Nurse Practitioner Bridget Miller in Urology and all nurses who cared for him at Blanchard Valley Hospital, Bluffton Hospital Swing Unit and Bridge In-Patient Hospice.

Visitation will be held Monday, July 14, 2025, from 3:00 to 7:00 p.m. at Kirkpatrick Behnke Funeral Home. Additional visitation will take place from 12:00 to 1:00 p.m. on Tuesday, July 15, 2025 at St. Mark’s United Methodist Church, followed by a Celebration of Life service at 1:00 p.m. Tuesday, officiated by Pastor Dan Metzger. A graveside service will follow at Maple Grove Cemetery.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Jim’s memory to:
