67, of Mooresville passed away on October 22, 2025, at home, surrounded by his family. Paul was born on September 16, 1958 in Sullivan, Indiana to the late Lewis Edward Johnson and Ruth Marie (Gillon) Cooney.
A lifelong resident of Morgan County, Paul attended Monrovia High School. Raised with a strong work ethic and skilled hands, Paul worked as a machinist for Federal Mogul for 22 years. He was a Jack of All Trades, as he enjoyed tinkering around on various projects, as well as the peace and serenity of country living, feeding the deer right out his front door. He will be remembered for his strong work ethic, his determination, his close relationship with his siblings and a loving, caring heart that was always willing to help someone in need.
In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by stepfather Clarence Oliver Cooney, brothers Robert N. Johnson, Steven E. Johnson, and Jim Cooney.
He is survived by his wife, Lora (Shoults) Johnson; children Paul Edward Johnson (Krista), Heather Doty (Robert), Dale Snavely, Jr. (Jackie); brother Mark A. Cooney (Julie); sister Mary Ann Moore (Michael); 12 grandchildren, along with many nieces and nephews who will all miss him dearly.
In keeping with his wishes, Paul was cremated and his family will gather to celebrate his life privately.
Final arrangements and cremation are entrusted to Carlisle Branson Funeral Service & Crematory. Please visit www.CarlisleBranson.com to share a favorite memory or to sign the online guest registry.
