H. 4913
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.
