Chuckie Fresh, can't believe you gone. I remember us meeting in our neighborhood and became fast friends. Our walking and debates, tailgates, listening to music. You was my DJ, for my retirement party and made me cd's. I know you loved God,football and your family. May your memories always be a blessing 🙏 Jb Mota

My "D to the Wayne Rock Johnson "....I, along with many other of our colleagues dont even know where to start. It was so sudden. You were just there coming in every day quiet & with lunch box in tow like every day, grinning at me throwing your hand up in a good morning acknowledgment & then out to the job site. Never knowing that within a day I (we all) would never see you again in an earthly manner. We are struggling, we miss you & everything about you so much. The mornings are not the same. However, I (we know) that in NO way would you want us to feel this way, maybe for the moment, but not forever, as many of us know that we will see you again & guess what, it won't be "AT WORK", it will be in our heavenly realm, with rejoicing & YOU the DJ. We love & miss you brother. To the family, our prayers are continuing. Love Kellye Blanchard Campbell

Chuckie is a friend of mine as well. I'm going to miss you calling my name out as I walk into a crowded room making me feel like a " SUPER STAR".

I just can't believe that you are gone Chuckie. I thought of you a week before your passing. When you think of someone you'd better call them. You just never know. You were a good guy, and you thought you were the best DJ in the world. Whenever I would go back home to the CHI, I'd let you hear my music. You knew you could do better, so you say, and I just let you have it. LOL To the Johnson Family, I am so sorry for this major loss in your life. May God lift you high and give you all the strength that is needed to continue on in life and to be able to cherish the memories of a lifetime. God Bless you all. Patricia Jackson (PJ)

To the family I remember "Chuckie" Dwayne Johnson years ago from playing the guitar for a gospel group I believe was the Victory Aires. He was a very friendly person. I offer my condolences and pray comfort and peace for the family in Jesus name.

Dear Johnson Family, please accept my heartfelt condolences for your loss. I had the great privilege of knowing Dewayne for many years and was honored to serve as his pharmacist at Kmart Pharmacy in Northport and later at Jann's Pharmacy in Tuscaloosa. He was a friendly, kind-hearted person who always thought of others. My prayer for all of you is that God will comfort you in the difficult days ahead and that all of your wonderful memories of Dewayne will help to ease your grief. Jann Sides

One of the main reasons I would travel home for my DHS class reunions is I knew DJ Chuckie would be spinning records and he would play my blues that I love so much. Well, he never disappointed. We chatted several times and he would tell me how much he admired my brother. I'm so blessed to have over 25 personalized CD's with mostly blues from him! I will treasure them and our conversations forever! Condolences to his entire family and friends! 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 Chris Polk ~Class of 1974

I am just still at a loss for words because Im so used to you being available.

Your transition was one that really hit hard. This was the last thing that we were expecting. You will truly be missed by us as well as all of the Cowboy Stars of Alabama Fans. Game days are not going to be the same without you but we are going to make sure your memory lives on. I saw a snippet of you DJing the Labor Day Blues show and I must say you had the crowd on their feet and they were wide open as well as yourself. Keep resting in the arms of our Savior. #truebluesince72#crimsoncowboy#djchuckiesofresh, well done. Your work will truly speak for you. DC4L, a star is shining brightly. Todd & Mina
