Obituary
Clarence Sidney "Jazz" Johnson was born on August 13th, 1941 in Okmulgee, Oklahoma to Moses and Maggie (Reagor) Johnson. He went home to be with the Lord on September 15th, 2015. Clarence attended Banneker Elementary School and Dunbar. He also served in the Army National Guard from 1962-1965. He moved to Kansas City, Kansas working as a miner at Sugan & Galama Sheet Metal Company. He soon relocated back to his stomping grounds in Okmulgee, Oklahoma.
His passion was hunting, fishing and traveling. Jazz devoted most of his time and energy caring for his dogs Debo, Jasmine, Peaches and Peanut. They brought him so much joy and love. He enjoyed waking up every morning to coffee with his buddies reminiscing about the past. He also enjoyed sitting outside on the porch with family and friends telling his old childhood stories. He was also a fan of the Kansas City Chiefs. Jazz was loved by so many and will be missed immensely by all the lives he's touched over the years. He had a very kind heart and would do anything to help anyone.
