Adoneus Jarre

Johnson

Adoneus Jarre Johnson, affectionately known as “Skinny,” was born on June 17, 1979, in Albuquerque, New Mexico. He departed this life on September 5, 2026, leaving behind a beautiful legacy of love, laughter, family, friendship and unforgettable memories.

Adoneus attended grade school in Albuquerque, New Mexico and The Colony, Texas, before attending high school at Albuquerque High. Adoneus was known for his genuine love of people. He never met a stranger and his warm personality and unforgettable smile had a way of making people feel welcomed and loved.

Adoneus had a heart for helping others. He was the kind of person who would give you the shirt off his back. Throughout his life he took care of many people and was always willing to lend a helping hand, offer support, or make sure someone else was okay, even when it meant putting their needs before his own. His generosity, loyalty and willingness to show up for the people he loved were a defining part of who he was.

Adoneus had a true passion for sports and he proudly repped the Philadelphia Eagles. Whether cheering on his team, enjoying the unique sounds of Memphis, Tennessee rap, sitting at the casino playing Texas Hold’em or blackjack, placing sports bets, or spending time with the people he loved. Adoneus knew how to enjoy life. He lived life to the fullest and on his own terms.

Above all, Adoneus loved his family. He leaves to cherish his memory his beloved mother, Alma J. Johnson, and his best friend and adoring sister, Ebony T. Johnson, along with her children, Jharen Johnson-Knoblock, Roman Johnson, and Graham Carter.

He is also lovingly remembered by his half-siblings, Donna Johnson, Vincent Hooker and Sequoya Johnson.

Adoneus leaves behind his wonderful children: Jezmeri Johnson and her sons, Princeton and Kahari Grandberry; Tiajah Richardson; Ziontay Powdrell; Tionna Johnson; Jonathan Johnson; Zaliiah Johnson; Kamiah Johnson; and Treasure Johnson. His children and grandchildren were a cherished part of his life and will carry his love and memory forward.

He was preceded in death by his father, Donald Gene Johnson; his maternal grandmother, Alice J. Ford; and his paternal grandmother, Jereline Johnson.

Adoneus also leaves behind a host of loving aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, nephews and friends, including his beloved cousin crew in Bolivar and Memphis Tennessee, all of whom will forever carry memories of his laughter, his stories, his energy, his generosity and that unforgettable smile.

Adoneus was one of a kind. He loved hard, laughed often, embraced life, and made an impression wherever he went. He gave freely, loved deeply and took care of the people around him. His presence could fill a room, and his absence will be deeply felt by all who knew and loved him.

Though his time with us was not long enough, the love he gave and the memories he created will remain forever.

Rest in Paradise Adoneus.

Forever loved. Forever remembered. Never forgotten.
