The death in July of a sailor and Rolling Fork native in Bahrain was announced by the Department of Defense on Thursday.

Petty Officer Stacy O. Johnson, 35, died July 18 in Bahrain while supporting Operation Enduring Freedom, a release from Naval Support Activity Bahrain said Thursday.

Services for Johnson were Aug. 6 and he was buried at Pleasant Grove Cemetery in Issaquena County. Johnson, who lived in San Diego, attended school in Rolling Fork and was survived by his wife, Randa, of San Diego; three sons Jordy Johnson of Rolling Fork, and Demonte Fagan and Dallas Johnson, both of San Diego; and a daughter, Nashira Johnson, also of San Diego.

A review of Johnson’s orders prompted the Navy to conclude he died in direct support of Operation Enduring Freedom, said Jennifer Stride, public affairs officer for the Naval Support Activity.

Johnson was a master-at-arms assigned to Naval Security Force Bahrain, the release said.

An announcement in July said Johnson died at Manana, the Persian Gulf island nation’s capital.
