Bobby Ray Johnson, the son of Mr. Willie James Johnson, Sr. and Mrs. Willie Belle Johnson, was born on September 25, 1964. He was the fourth and the smallest child. He was born with leukemia; but he beat all the odds.

Bobby attended Mendenhall High School where he played football and graduated as an outstanding athlete. He continued his dream of playing football at CoLin Community College where they were state champs. After Colin, he played with Alabama A&M University.
