"He don't talk a lot but he's smart. He just don't talk and conversate like if you wanted to talk, he would walk straight past you,"

Loved ones said Johnson suffers from bipolar disorder. They have reached out to hospitals and have been frantically searching everywhere for him.

"My next goal is to print out flyers and drive to every gas station, drive everywhere and start putting them down on windows," his nephew said.

Leroy said he doesn't believe his uncle is still in that immediate area near their home so the family is pleading for any information that can lead to his whereabouts. He was wearing grey sweat shorts and a white T-shirt.
