Sidney "Sid" Johnson III

Sidney “Sid” Johnson III passed away peacefully on March 8, 2026, surrounded by his family. Born in Massachusetts on September 2, 1946, Sid was known for his quick wit and the captivating stories he brought back from his extensive travels around the world.

A proud graduate of St. Christopher’s School in Richmond, Virginia, and Cornell University in Ithaca, New York, Sid built a career that took him to many countries. He eventually settled in Jamaica, where he founded a textile manufacturing company, opened and ran a restaurant with his wife, raised his family, and embraced island life. He and his family also spent many cherished years in Chatham, Massachusetts, where his daughters grew up and where they will always remember him. There he delighted in boat rides with friends and in sharing steamers and lobster.

Later, Sid moved his business to Georgia and enjoyed several years with his wife on St. Simons Island before retiring to Washington, DC. He was preceded in death by his parents, Sidney Jr. and Miriam Johnson, and his beloved wife, Suzanne Johnson. He is survived by his daughters, Samantha Brennan (Brian) and Alexandra Johnson, his sisters Susan Dyer (Paul) and Sally Simons (Tom), his sisters-in-law Evelyn Cole, Deborah Loconto, and Mary Ward (Tim), as well as many beloved nieces, nephews, and friends across the globe.
