Marcus Terrell Johnson (Wright)

August 15, 1980 — July 3, 2024

Marcus Terrell Johnson (Wright), 43, departed this life Wednesday, July 3, 2024, at the University of Michigan Health (Sparrow).

Marcus Terrell Johnson (Wright) was born August 15, 1980, at Harriman Hospital in Harriman, Tennessee, the son of William Lee Wright and Dora Sue Johnson. He attended Harriman High School.

Marcus had a very talented side of him. Not only could he draw incredible artwork, but he had a gift for music, and music was his passion, and he was good at it. He loved singing, rapping and writing, producing music, and getting into the studio every chance he could. Marcus loved his Korean heritage, and would practice martial arts, cooking and learning his Grandmother’s home language.

He was a huge Bruce Lee fan, and he was a natural comedian, and enjoyed making everyone smile and laugh, and always wanted to cheer people up no matter the situation. More than anything, Marcus loved his family more than any words can say.

We will forever miss his laughter, charisma, suaveness and him nudging us with a warm smile. No words can express the sorrow and hurt we feel in his untimely passing, but lets all celebrate the memories that he left us.

He is survived by his father, William Lee Wright; special aunt/adopted mother, Contonia Wright; children, Alexia Biney Ortiz Johnson, Jasmine Godard, Aaliyah Reyes, Faven Johnson, MJ Johnson, and Alizah Marie Johnson; grandchildren, Adelin King, Brinnlee Goddard, Holden Reyes and Mateo Reyes; siblings, Angela Johnson, Ashley Johnson, Whitney Wright, William “Billie” Wright; special aunt/foster mother, Faye Matlox, special cousin, Brandon “Kovu” Pendergass; special lifelong best friend and brother, Caleb Penn; special someone dear, Kimberly Norman; aunts and uncles, Contonia L. Wright, Toney Wright; maternal grandmother, Rosalie Johnson; maternal aunts/uncles: Sandra Smith, Rosetta Smith, Robert Johnson, Craig Johnson; and a host of cousins, and other family members too numerous to name, but were indeed loved by Marcus. He was preceded in death by his paternal grandmother, Sang Sun Wright; cousin, Elizabeth A. Bush; maternal grandfather, William T. Johnson; uncle, Stewart Johnson; and sister, Crystal Johnson.
