He was born August 21, 1961 in Berea, Ohio, the son of the late Thurman and Norma Johnson. Don will always be remembered as a strong, friendly and caring person, who always put others before himself.

Don is survived by his loving wife of 37 years, Linda Johnson; sons Brian (Kellie) Johnson, Bruce (Dawnley) Johnson, and Brandon Johnson; as well as four grandchildren.
