Gregory Levelle Johnson

Gregory Johnson, of Richmond, VA formerly of Warrenton, VA, our beloved brother, uncle, significant other, friend, and co-worker departed this life August18, 2025, in Richmond, VA. Born January 29, 1956 in Washington, DC, Greg was raised by Mrs. Ada and Mr. Arthur Sharp, Sr. (deceased) of Madisontown in Warrenton, VA.  His foster parents raised him from babyhood to manhood, and loved and adored him as if he were their very own. From this union, Greg had many relatives, three sisters: Dolores Wilson of Suitland, MD; Gwen Butler Pegram of Lusby, MD; and Burnetta Ballinger of Alexandria, VA; one niece, Denise Wilson of Fredericksburg, VA; two nephews: James (Jimmy) Arthur Sharp of Alexandria, VA, and Maurice Douglas of Washington, DC; and two great nieces: Jade Wilson of Richmond, VA, and Gina Wilson of Capitol Heights, MD. Greg will also be remembered by his significant other, Evelyn Darr of Richmond, VA. Greg was preceded in death by one brother, Arthur Sharp Jr.; a nephew, Laurence (Larry) Sharp; and two niece: Diane Wilson and Debra (Debi) Wilson.

Greg graduated from Fauquier High School in Warrenton, VA, where he also played football, in addition to playing football at Taylor Jr. High School. Greg was a long-time employee of Safeway where he started as a part-time employee while still in high school.

Greg pursued his passion for helping others who were less fortunate than himself in a career he embraced right up to his death. He worked as a shelter support staff and Family Focus Supervisor at Caritas Center in Richmond, VA, for 23 years. Greg inherently understood the value and mission of Caritas to create a safe space for those in need that allow healing and time to rebuild their lives. Greg also worked as a maintenance supervisor at Home Again, one of Richmond’s oldest homeless services organizations, for 22 years. As anyone who knew Greg, he helped anybody in need, always opened his home and heart up to whomever asked.

Greg was a special, devoted, and very beloved person and had a boatload of friends, co-workers, and other relatives who admired him for who he was. Greg was genuine. We dearly loved and miss him.

A memorial service will be held on Saturday, September 13, 2025, 11am, at Faith Christian Church, 6472 Duhollow Road, Warrenton, VA, 20187.  Dr. Decker H. Tapscott will deliver the eulogy.  Services will be streamed live at https://www.gotfaithnow.org/watch-live
