Jack JOHNSON Obituary
Age 90, of Huber Heights, passed away on Saturday,
February 6th 2021, at Miami Valley Hospital. Jack was born in April, 1930, in Eldorado, Ohio, and was one of six
children.
Preceding him in death were his parents, Hardin and Hazel Johnson; sister, Ruth Hild and brothers, George and Frog. Jack is survived by his wife of 65 years, Phyllis; daughter, Jenny; son, Jeff (Kim) and his
beloved grandchildren; grandson, Josh (Rose); granddaughter, Erin (Mark) Lahman; great-grandchildren, Magnolia and baby-Lahman and sisters, Rosanna (Stan) Lane and Loretta Linville.
Jack served for 4 years in the United States Air Force between 1948-1952 as an Airplane and Engine Mechanic during the Berlin Airlift. Following his years in the Air Force, Jack attended the University of Dayton where he received a degree in
Engineering. Jack was employed for 30 years at Ohio Bell, AT&T and was later employed at the University of Dayton in the IT department where he (finally) retired at age 86.
Upon his retirement at UDit, Jack received one of his most cherished awards. In 2015, the University of Dayton IT department honored Jack with the 1st annual "Jack Johnson Award" where he was recognized by the university as a man who
exemplified a loyal, unwavering spirit of faith, community and mission while demonstrating honesty, integrity and generosity of spirit and selflessness with his gifts and skills.
Jack loved to play football during his years in the Air Force; he also enjoyed playing on many Church softball teams until age 65.
Jack is sadly missed by his loving family and will be forever remembered and loved by his sisters, nieces, nephews, friends, his Bible study group, his Church family and Euchre Club.

Jack Johnson was a wonderful fellow-- as good as they come.
I know that there are very many of us who grieve with you as we hear this news. He will be greatly missed, but I also trust that we are only parted from him for a brief season, and that we will see him again soon. The God of all comfort will keep (and soothe) our hearts and minds as we abide in Him.. our prayer will be focused on you in this time of sorrow, and we will look ahead with you toward the coming joy..

Have so many wonderful memories of Jack and the Johnson family. They always welcomed me (and so many others) with open arms. Jack was such an amazing role model. He will be so missed but look forward to seeing him again in eternity! The photo was taken in the Johnson back yard in 1975.
