Mr. Parks Johnson was one of our bus drivers in Lincoln County for many years. He loved his students and we were blessed to have him in our system. It was a sad day when he found it time to retire from his bus route. May God bless the family. I am so sorry for your loss.

He was a good mentor to me when I first became a Christian. I’m thankful for his influence and have good memories of him at Mimosa. My prayers are with the family.

I was privileged to meet and get to know Bro. Parks when I was helping fill-in at the Mimosa congregation. I remember his great sense of humor, and that he was always encouraging to me. I know he will be missed. My prayers are with his family and with the members at the Mimosa Church of Christ.

I am so sorry to hear this. Parks was a great man. He drove our nursing home bus for years and helped with our monthly cook-outs. He will be greatly missed. Your family is in our hearts and prayers.
