With the heaviest of hearts, we announce the passing of our beloved Gary W. Johnson, son to Eileen Johnson, the late Kenneth W. Johnson, brother to Brooke Sanchez (Brian), uncle to Matthew and Grace and loved by his beloved Dawn and his sweet girl Anastasia.
Gary grew up in Central Islip and later moved to Center Moriches. Gary was a diehard Giants and Yankee fan. Gary's first love was working with hands; he was an amazing and talented framer which he shared with his father. They had an amazing and very well-known business, Kenneth Johnson and Son Construction Company. That was their bond, the love of construction, and working together. Gary's other loves were his mother, father, grandparents, his aunt Kathleen, sister Brooke, Dawn, Matthew, Grace, Anastasia and his closest family and friends. To know Gary was to love him, he had the biggest heart and would help anyone who needed him.
Gary had the most beautiful blue eyes and smile, with the most infectious laugh.
Gary is gone way too soon, but those who knew Gary the "Real" Gary, knows what an impact he left on everyone who was lucky to know him. When you think of Gary, please all remember the good times, the kindness in his heart, those beautiful blue eyes, and his smile.
