Bjorn Johnson Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Apr. 20, 2025.
Bjorn Johnson, 41, passed away on November 24, 2024, in Shafer, Minnesota. Born on June 30, 1983, in Minneapolis, Minnesota to Daniel & Laura Johnson, Bjorn lived a life marked by complexity, compassion, and a deep love for music, animals & friends.

A graduate from Mounds View High School class of 2001, Bjorn went on to earn an Associates Degree from Brown College.

Bjorn had a profound connection to music. It was more than a hobby-it was a passion that shaped his identity and brought him solace. He also had a special place in his heart for animals, finding comfort and companionship in their presence.

He is remembered by his father Daniel Johnson; his sister Kjirsten Johnson (Paul); his sister-in-law Nicole Bartholomew Erickson; and his nieces Alexa and Maddie Erickson. He was preceded in death by his mother Laura Johnson and his brother Justin Erickson.

Bjorn faced life with a spirit that was often misunderstood- a reminder of the complexity of human experience and the importance of patience, compassion & empathy. Those who knew him throughout his life understood that beneath his struggles was a heart that cared deeply and gave freely.

My friend...this hurts. For over 28 years you were more than my friend. You were there for me so many times when I had nobody. Thank you for basically a lifetime of filling my days with laughter, music and endless kitty pics. I am going to miss you immensely. Love you Bjorn.
