Jeff Johanson Obituary
Jeff loved the outdoors and spent most of his free time camping, boating, and fishing, as well as caring for his many backyard plants.
Jeff leaves behind his fiance, life partner and love of his life for 26 years, Karen Thomas, son Jared, stepdaughter Lesley Thomas Franklin, brother Robin, sisters Linda Beal and Jackie Wareham, and many extended family and friends.
Jeff had a wonderful sense of humor and made friends easily. He will be sorely missed by all that knew him and although Jeff is gone, he will never be forgotten.

My Jeffrey this week
Marks 1 year since your passing. In some way it feels like it happened yesterday I so many other ways it seems like a million years ago since you left us.
I still want you to know I miss you everyday. But I keep finding little signs you leave me to let me know you are not far away. I hold you heart in my heart. Rest in paradise my sweet Jeffrey. I love you . Kisses and hug are being sent to heaven. Just for you

It's been about six months since you left us and I miss you every single day. Separated by 3ooo miles but always close to my heart. I have hardly a memory of my life growing up in Ft. Lauderdale that doesn't include you. I love you, buddy.
