Sheriff Donald Valenza: With a heavy heart at the loss of Deputy Robert Johnson Jr. Prayers to the family for comfort during this time. His smile will be missed at the Houston County Courthouse, Administration Building, and the Houston County Sheriff’s Office. We will take it from here. --- Houston County Sheriff's Office: It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Deputy Robert (Rob) Johnson Jr., who bravely fought a courageous battle with cancer. Deputy Johnson began his law enforcement career on January 18, 2005, and dedicated more than two decades of his life to serving and protecting the citizens of Houston County. Rob was the kind of deputy every agency hopes for—professional, dependable, and deeply committed to his duty. More importantly, he was a friend to everyone he met, always willing to help, listen, or lend a hand. Rob truly loved serving his community and took great pride in wearing the badge. His impact reached far beyond the walls of our department and into the lives of the citizens he served each and every day. Please keep Deputy Johnson’s family, friends, and our law enforcement family in your thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. Rest easy, Rob. Your service and dedication will never be forgotten. We’ve got it from here brother.🖤💙 EOW 2/4/2026. ---- Meck: Deputy Johnson was always smiling and would greet me when I would see him on Sunday mornings in the First Baptist Church Main St Parking Lot. He was so kind and he was always so helpful to everyone. He cared deeply about his job and the people he was helping and protecting. Officer Johnson was a Gentle Giant with a Servants Heart. A Real Blessing.
