Obituary

Starling H. Johnson, age 66, of Chattanooga, TN transitioned on June 20, 2013. He moved to Tennessee from Michigan in the late 1990’s. Always a dedicated member of the community he sought to provide support to those seeking inspiration, personal development and positive health.

He has also served at the Lighthouse at Patton in memory of his wife Arvella, a previous Director of the program.

Left to cherish his memory are his three children; son, Starling Johnson, Jr., daughters, Lesley Jackson (Rodney), Robin Rollet (Steve); father, Doris Johnson; brothers, Dorsey (Shirley), Ronald Johnson: eight grandchildren; and a host of nephews, nieces, other relatives and friends.
