Michael Johnson Obituary
1970 ~ 2017
Taylorsville, UT-Michael Grant Johnson (Mike), 46, passed away Thursday October 19, 2017 at his home. Mike was the youngest son of Merlin Grant and Diane Eggett Johnson. Mike graduated from Woods Cross High, class of 1989. Mike married the love of his life Tammy Gunnett and they created their wonderful family. Nothing put a smile on Mikes face more than his kids (including gaming online with them), Little Ceasars Pizza, Dr. Pepper, sports, and his beautiful wife. Mike was a big kid at heart and his family was his life. The love between Mike and his mom was like no other.
Mike is survived by his wife Tammy and their children Tiffany, Michaele (Cody), his only son Marcus Grant (Kaya), Hannah, Hailey and Jessica; his mother Diane, his brother Kirk (Pam) and his sisters Debbie (Simon) and Sandy (David) and his nieces and nephews. Mike is preceded in death by his sister Shelly, his father Merlin and his nephew Jeff.

I'm so sorry for your loss of Mike. Every time I asked him how his family was doing when he came by my security window where I work the way he talked about you all I could see the love he had for you all. He was very proud of his family. I'm glad I got to know him. Prayers and hugs for you all.
