Richard Johnson Obituary

Visit the Legacy Remembers website to view the full obituary.
TRIMBLE - Richard W. Johnson of Virginia Beach, Va., passed into the hands of God surrounded by family on Friday, June 16, 2017, at Sentara Heart Hospital. Rick was born June 4, 1951, to Beulah and Wilbur W. Johnson of Trimble, Ohio. Rick joined the Navy in 1971 for a 4-year tour that ended 22 years later. His love of all things Navy was only surpassed by his love of family. His biggest joys in life were his children and grandchildren.
He leaves behind to cherish his memory his loving wife of 47 years, Patricia Byers Johnson; daughter, Stacie (Ron) Bagwell; son, David Johnson (Chidori); sisters, Nancy (Dow) Sanders and Jacque Kuhne; sisters-in-law, Debbie (Rick) Little, Yvonne Keith and Lee Browning; brother-in-law, Don (Judy) Byers; many nieces and nephews; and the joy of his world, grandchildren, Parker, Tyler and Katie Bagwell. He also leaves behind his extended church family at St. Michael Lutheran Church.
Whether they called him Rick, Dad, Pa or Uncle, he touched every life and will leave a great void in all of us.
There will be a celebration of life on Saturday, June 24, at 11 a.m. at St. Michael Lutheran Church. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to St. Michael Lutheran Church, 2208 Princess Anne Road, Virginia Beach, Va.; or to the American Heart Association.

One of my memories when we were growing up was a camp out night with Rick,myself,and others from our part of Trimble. We were back in the woods probably a mile or so from Rick's house. Right before it got dark we saw a man walking toward our camp. We all yelled "whose there" with no response so we started throwing pop bottles at him. As it turned out it was Wilbur, Rick's dad, just checking on us. Fortunately, none of us hit him ha!ha!. Just one of childhood memories of a good time with a great guy.
