Robert “Mack” Richard Johnson, 68, of Morganton, NC gained his wings April 3rd 2023.
Robert was born on April 30th 1954, in Burke County, NC and was the son of the late Mack Donald Johnson and Cora Lee Dula.
Robert attended Hartland Church of God. He retired from UNC Caldwell as a surgical technician after 24 years. His last two years Robert decided to switch to part time to continue to fulfill his desire to help others and his need to stay busy. Robert was an outdoorsy person and you could often find him working on cars, riding four wheelers with his grandchildren, remodeling the house or doing yard work. When Robert wasn’t working outside, he was sitting in his gazebo that he built himself, he always said he did his best thinking there. He believed "there's no time to sleep, there's always work to-do." Now pops, your work is done, you can finally get your rest. Robert also enjoyed trips to the mountains with his wife. You could find them in Cherokee on any given weekend. In addition to his parents he was proceeded in death by his son Andre Kincaid and his wife Irene Kincaid Johnson as well as his brother Clifford Johnson.
He is survived by his daughters Shaqueen Kincaid and Robin Johnson, both of Morganton; his loving grandchildren, Jayden Connelly and Jenaya Johnson of Morganton, Kaeden Hairston of Charlotte, Jace Connelly and Christian Williams also of Morganton; his siblings, Roy Lee Dula (Georgia) of Milwaukee, WI, Jimmy Johnson (Ethel) of Lenoir, Marie Johnson of Morganton, Sherry Harvin of Sumter, SC, Rodney E Johnson (Brenda) of Bronx, NY, Billy Ray Johnson of Morganton, Tracy Johnson of Milwaukee, WI, and Cynthia Johnson of Morganton, NC; and a host of nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends.
Robert loved all his grandchildren but had a special bond with Jayden Connelly who lived in the home and Jenaya Johnson “Naya James” who was his only babygirl. He enjoyed hearing about all of Jace’s football adventures! He will be missed greatly!

Leave a tribute for Robert “Mack” Richard Johnson.
Sending prayers of strength to all the Johnson Family.
Robert was "one of a kind!" I was privileged to work with him in the OR and Surgery Center as well! His family knew my husband's family out in Piney! Robert's legacy and service to others will always be remembered! Through laughter and tears, he endured hardships well! I could always count on him to come along side and support me, especially in his arena of endoscopy! He cared for Marland well during his colonoscopy and grateful! Although I have moved on from the OR, the memories of working with Robert and many others live on. I am eternally thankful to know and have been known by Robert, while sharing his many stories! May your family receive God's comfort during these days, weeks, and years ahead! He loved each of you and spoke of you often! Love you Robert! "Forever thankful to be one of your pies!"
I am saddened to learn of Robert’s passing. I worked with him in the Operating Room for many years. He was a hardworking, kind, thoughtful man. He was always ready to lend a hand to help others. I know he will be missed greatly. My condolences to both his family and his “work” families. Robert assisted Dr. Dacus on the C section when my grandson Ryan was born. He made my son Corey feel reassured and comfortable. When Ryan came out, over 11 pounds, Robert laughed and joked that that boy must be his! (Robert was a big man, but never intimidating). Corey never forgot how Robert made him laugh and stop worrying. That is just the kind of guy he was.... thinking of others always. He knew Corey was nervous, and he really helped relieve the anxiety. Rest well, Robert, until we meet again.
Mack, you will be missed tremendously! Rest on my brother! Your sister, Sherry
Shaqueen and Robin, Kevin and I are thinking of you during this difficult time.
Robert was a good friend and I enjoyed working with him very much. He always spoke lovingly of his family. My heartfelt condolences to all of you.
