Johnny J. Eason
Johnny Jerome Eason, 74, passed peacefully into the arms of his Lord and Savior 
on October 6, 2023. He was married to the love of his life and wife of 50 years, 
Joy Bunting Eason (deceased) and is survived by his legacy, his daughter, Joley 
Steffens and her husband, Neil, their children, Jordan, Heidi Joy, Cassidy, and 
Keegan, and his son, Jonas Eason. He was preceded in death by an infant 
daughter, Mary Jordan. Johnny was the beloved brother of his sisters, Tricia 
Smith and her husband, Merle, Mary Dell Gibson and her husband, Mike, and his 
sisters-in-law, Brenda Scott, June Fleming, and Amanda Bunting, and will be 
dearly missed by several nieces, nephews, and cousins. 
 
Fondly known to many as “Little Johnny” and “Bubba,” he was born on November 10, 
1948 to Johnny Austin Eason and Mary Lessie Wells Eason and was a lifelong 
resident of Marion County. Johnny served as a medic in the U.S. Army during the 
Vietnam War, and retired from Sumter Regional Hospital in Americus after holding 
many roles including Registered Nurse and Hospital Administrator. He was an 
extraordinary nurse and showed incredible kindness to those he cared for, and he 
helped many others advance in the field of nursing. 
 
Johnny loved his family and friends, and enjoyed raising chickens and goats, 
fishing, gardening, woodworking, and history. He had a generous spirit, a great 
sense of humor, was the best storyteller, and he could fix anything. 
 
His family will receive visitors at Way-Watson Funeral Home from 6:00-8:00pm on 
Monday, October 9, and a celebration of his life will be held at New Providence 
Baptist Church at 12:00 p.m. on Tuesday, October 10, 2023. Reverend David 
Chapman will be officiating.
 
Way-Watson Funeral Home in Buena Vista, GA, has been entrusted with these 
arrangements.
