Greg Johnson Obituary

Greg Morris Johnson Resident of Lafayette Greg Morris Johnson went home to be with the Lord following a courageous 2 year battle with brain cancer. Greg was born in southern California and spent his growing up years in Glendora. Greg graduated from University of the Pacific, Stockton and has made his home in Lafayette for the past 15 years. Greg's pride and joy were his children, daughter Natalie Farris (married to Nathan Farris), son Miles and daughters Caroline and Jillian Mae. He is survived by his wife Marci and their 4 children, along with his mother Connie Johnson of Huntington Beach, brother Eric and his wife Deanne of Laguna Hills and brother Kirk and wife Judy also of Huntington Beach. Greg worked as the Vice Principal/Dean of Students at Berean Christian High School in Walnut Creek. An avid sports fan, Greg loved the coaching he did with the students. He coached JV football, Varsity Boy's basketball and Varsity swimming. He LOVED Berean and felt blessed to be able to do the two things he enjoyed most in life... encourage/instruct others in their walk with the Lord and athletics. Friends and neighbors are invited to a memorial service which will celebrate Greg's life of service on Friday, August 15, 2008 at 7:30 pm at Berean Christian High School, 245 El Divisadero Avenue, Walnut Creek. Those wishing may send contributions to the high school in Greg's name. Check the school's web site for details. www.berean-eagles.org TraditionCare (925) 827-2911 www.traditioncare.com

Marci and Family,
My heart and soul aches. Such a wonderful person taken from his family, friends, and all that knew him much to early in life. Everyone Greg touched felt his positive energy and experienced his warm and loving personality. His positive presence in our world will certainly be missed! May we all find solace in knowing he is now doing God's work full time.

We know Greg had that key and now
he is in heaven at peace.
Our thoughts & prayers have always been there and will remain.
