A house RESOLUTION

To Express the profound sorrow of the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives upon the passing of Frankie L. Johnson, Jr., and to extend the deepest sympathy to his family and many friends.

Whereas, the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives were deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Frankie L. Johnson, Jr., of Darlington on the morning of December 16, 2023, and offer sincere condolences to his loving family and friends; and

Whereas, Frankie, affectionately known as "Lil Frankie" by those close to him, was born on September 17, 1997, in Darlington. He began his love of sports at the age of three with the Instructional League at Darlington Recreation Department. As a youth, he attended Macedonia Baptist Church where he worshiped and attended a number of youth events; and

Whereas, Frankie was an accomplished student athlete in Darlington County Public Schools. On top of his commitment to sports, he was also a dedicated student who made honor roll for many years and was well liked by both teachers and his fellow students. He was the quarterback for Darlington Middle School, played basketball at Darlington High school while still in seventh grade, and played both football and basketball for Mayo High School; and

Whereas, after graduating from Mayo High School, Frankie went on to attend The Citadel with a full athletic scholarship. After two fruitful years at The Citadel, Frankie attended Wingate University where he was the first student athlete to score a triple-double under Coach Goode. He graduated from Wingate University in 2020. Everyone thought of Frankie as his former Citadel basketball coach did, "He has the heart of a lion"; and

Whereas, after his graduation, Frankie returned to Darlington where he worked at the Walmart Distribution Center in Pageland and shared his love of sports by coaching at the Darlington Recreation Department. He often mentored others without even realizing it; and

Whereas, Frankie leaves to cherish his memory his son, Kaiser Alexander Johnson; parents, Frankie Johnson, Sr., and Genita Johnson; brother, Tyshaun Johnson; grandmother, Elizabeth Cain (Charles); uncles, Junior (Darlene) Johnson, Foster (Deidre) Johnson, and Antwan Cain; aunts, Gloria (Larry) Gandy, Charlotte Thomas, and Bernetha (Maurice) Cooper; and a host of special brothers, friends, and teammates. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:

That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, express profound sorrow upon the passing of Frankie L. Johnson, Jr., and extend the deepest sympathy to his family and many friends.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to the family of Frankie L. Johnson, Jr.
