Lenexa, Kansas - Larry "Big Dog" Johnson, 68, of Lenexa, KS passed away on January 9, 2022 at Olathe Health Hospice House.
Larry was born in Kansas City, MO on August 4, 1953 to Howard and Joan Johnson. He attended Shawnee Mission Northwest and The University of Kansas.
A career in sales was built upon strong integrity, humor, charm, and a genuine interest in people. He maintained those qualities in all aspects of his life.
He found comaraderie everywhere, with lifelong friends, the crew at water aerobics and weekly card games with three generations of family.
A proud Kansas Citian, he loved his city and his teams, a love he shared with his father, as well as his son, watching games in tandem in Maui.
Larry looked for every way to bond with his three children, his greatest joy. There are simply no words to express how much he loved us, how much we felt it, and how much we loved him in return.
Larry is survived by son Chris Johnson, daughter Kelly Doyle (Jeff), and son Tony Johnson. He is also survived by his father Howard Johnson and wife Jodi, sister Jackie Bay (Kenny)and sister Susi Hann (Nathan). And his handsome Ginger Cat Dude.
He was preceded in death by his mother Joan Johnson.
An internment ceremony will be held at Mt. Moriah on Monday January 24, 2022 at 3:00 with a visitation at Shawnee Church of the Nazarene afterwards.
A Celebration of Life will be announced at a later date. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made in Larry Johnson's memory to Olathe Health Hospice House.
