Nathan Johnson Obituary

Nathan "Skate" Bradley Johnson, 36, of Burlington/Farmington, passed into Heaven and the loving arms of his Savior, Jesus Christ, unexpectedly as the result of complications from multiple strokes. Born in Hartford, beloved son of Linda (Nielsen) Johnson of Burlington and his father Ronald K. Johnson of Bristol; Nathan was raised in Burlington in a loving Christian home. He graduated from Lewis S. Mills High School in 2001 and New England Technical Institute. He was employed by Friendly's, Lake Compounce, Cosi, and most recently River Ridge of Avon. Nathan always made his family smile with his creative gift giving and sense of humor. A lifelong participant at Valley Community Baptist Church in Avon, he participated in various ministries including Men's Fraternity, Young Adults, and as a kitchen volunteer. He also had volunteered at the Burlington Fire Department. Besides his mother and father, Nathan leaves his brother Roger E. Johnson and his wife Katka of Norfolk; a nephew Leif Johnson and niece Gudrid Johnson; as well as many dear aunts, uncles, and cousins who loved him dearly. A Memorial Service to celebrate his Christian Life will be held Tuesday, July 9, 2019 at 4 PM at Valley Community Baptist Church, 590 West Avon Road, Avon followed by a reception in the church fellowship hall. Contributions may be made to World Outreach Ministries at Valley Community Baptist Church, to share the Love of God, worldwide. Nathan had given the "Gift of Life" to others because he was an organ and tissue donor. The Carmon Funeral Home & Family Center of Avon is caring for the arrangements.

Thinking about you and your family during this difficult time. Remembering when you , Ellie and I went to Bradley airport to watch the planes take off and land and listen to the pilots and control tower on the scanner. We got hungry so I bought all of us burgers at McDonald's.
Thank you for that good memory and your friendship to me and Ellie.

Dear Linda,
I've just learned of Nathan's passing! As my next-door neighbor, he was always so quiet, but I realized that I also hadn't seen him lately. Expressing growing concern to my daughter, I found his name where I never wanted to see it. We extend our deepest sympathy, and pray that your precious memories of Nathan and his gentle spirit will forever be a comfort to you and your family.

Dear Linda and family.
We are truly sadden by the passing of Nathan. He has worked with us here at River Ridge for some months now and has been a valuable part of our team. He was always ontime and willing to work. We were blessed to have had him with us even for the short time but glad to know he is in a better place with his Lord and Savior. Our sincere condolences to his family from Dining service team and all staff at River Ridge.
