Wilbur Marcene Johnson

Wilbur Marcene Johnson, Jr., age 63, passed away on Friday, October 14, 2022, at his home in Kilgore, Texas. Marcene was born on March 18, 1959, in Tampa, Florida, but spent many of his younger years in Oklahoma before moving back to Florida. He then graduated high school and attended Tampa Technical Institute earning a degree in Diesel Technology. Eventually, Marcene found his way to Texas where he spent the majority of his adult years. Marcene loved to fish, but only catch and release because he hated to clean fish! He loved anytime spent with family, his and Adrianna’s trips to the store, hanging out with the kids and grandkids, and playing with the great-grandkids. Marcene would always go out of his way to help anybody, and was just a phone call away for anyone! He will be deeply missed by his friends, family, and anyone that knew him.
