Buddy Lee Johnson passed away at home in Spokane Washington at the age of 62. He leaves behind his daughters Kayla and Katie, and six grandsons. Additionally he leaves behind his brother Lonnie Johnson, brother-in-law Kurtis Gaskin and their children. There are many other family members and friends that Buddy loved dearly, however him and his cousin Donnie had a special bond. Donnie and Buddy were not only cousins but also best friends throughout their lives, and shared many adventures together. Many of Buddies experiences and wild stories live on through Donnie.

Buddy loved riding his bicycle, being outdoors, muscle cars, art, nature documentaries and the Joe Dirt movies. Buddy had a special artistic talent, and could make something amazing out of nearly anything.

Buddy was a free spirit and spent his life wandering back and forth between Burlington Washington and Spokane Washington. He worked many summers in Alaska, and most of his favorite stories were from his time spent in Alaska and on the boats.

Although dearly missed, Buddy is now reunited with his parents Ed and Sandy, and his sister Kelly, whom he was very close with and missed every day.

Most of all, Buddy will be remembered for his big heart and his sense of humor. He was always cracking jokes and making everyone around him laugh.

And as he would say,

"Could have been the whisky..might have been the gin..could have been the 4 or 5 six packs I don't know..wasn't it a party..."
