Donald Leroy Johnson went home to Jesus on January 28, 2022 at the age of 76. His loss was completely unexpected and the family is deeply saddened. Donald was born to Jasper Cain Johnson and Evelyn Ruth Johnson on July 18, 1945, in Taopi Minnesota. Donald met his wife, Linda in 1961 at the Salvation Army Church in Chicago, Illinois. They married on August 28, 1965, and went on to have three children, Tracey, Teri, and Dawn. Donald served in the U.S. Army from 1966 through 1969. He was a proud military Veteran and had a great love for his County. Throughout his entire life, he held an unwavering faith in God, which he shared with those who surrounded him. In addition to being a dedicated and loving husband and father, he was a wonderful grandpa, “Pop” to his grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Donald loved spending time with his family, going on outings, and camping. He also loved building radios and seeing how they worked. He spent over 40 years of his career as an Electronic Technician. He joined a ham radio club 12 years ago and he and his wife always looked forward to the annual hamfest in Quartzsite, Arizona, which is where they were vacationing when Donald tragically passed. Donald joins Jasper Johnson (Father), Evelyn Johnson (Mother), Dave Johnson (brother), and Donald Whitney (grandson) in Heaven.
