A Life of Faith and Service | Albany News

Albany grieves the passing of Bishop McKinley Johnson Senior, who died at 89, leaving behind a legacy of unwavering faith, boundless compassion, and lifelong service. Known for his tireless advocacy and hands-on support for the community, his message was simple yet profound: “Be nice to people. Help people.” His family recalls how he made each loved one feel uniquely cherished, and his faith—embodied in his mantra, “God will do it”—was the foundation of his life and ministry. His pulpit at Greater St. John’s Church of God in Christ is now draped in purple and black in honor of his enduring impact. Services to celebrate his life are set for Wednesday and Thursday.
