Andrew Johnson Obituary | May 7, 2024 | Jacksonville, FL
Andrew Nareal Johnson, departed from this world on Tuesday, May 7, 2024, at the age of 53. He was a friendly and well-liked young man who held a special place in the hearts of those fortunate enough to have known him.

Nareal accepted Christ at an early age under the leadership of the late Pastor Emeritus Reverend C.J. Brown at Greater Mount Pleasant Missionary Baptist Church in Callahan. He was a member of the West Nassau High School graduating class of 1989.

For many years Rale worked alongside his mother, Willeva in downtown Jacksonville on their hot dog cart near the bus station. His daughter, Kierra nicknamed him “The Weenie Man.” Drew considered himself to be a “Top Chef” and would often be seen driving his food truck or pickup truck with his grill attached heading to catering events.

Rale was a caring and devoted son to his parents, Willeva and Oliver. Many Sundays he would be seen taking his momma to church. He loved attending family events, the last one on Easter Sunday. The morning of his death he had a conversation with his father. They talked about Rale’s upcoming plans for his catering and other business ideas. Later that day he spent time in Jacksonville browsing with his mother.

Andrew met and became engaged to Sabrina Robinson, the two loved to travel. on their first trip together they visited Destin, Florida. Other destinations included Miami, Atlanta, Panama City Beach, Puerto Rico, Grand Cayman, Turks and Caicos, the State Fair in Tampa, and the Strawberry Festival in Plant City.
