Guy Johnson Obituary

North Stonington - Guy Swain Johnson, 71, went to Heaven Sept. 9, 2024, after a long battle with cancer and diabetes. He was the son of Patricia Panus of North Stonington and Howard Johnson of Preston. Guy was a 1971 graduate of Wheeler High School and 1978 graduate of Ottawa University in Kansas.

Guy delivered mail in his hometown of North Stonington. He loved the people of his route and had some very interesting stories. He loved watching and talking sports. He was a dedicated fan of the New England Patriots, UConn basketball, and Hartford Whalers! Guy followed Fox news and enjoyed discussing and debating current events. He was an avid collector of anything to do with coffee, jewelry, and artwork by P. Buckley Moss. Guy was very proud to have achieved 40 years of sobriety.

Guy will be greatly missed by his sister Fran (Lee) Wood and their children Emily (Curt) Main and Lance (Michaela) Wood. Guy will also be missed by his brother Bill, whom he always called Wilfred, (Jen) Johnson and their children, Joshua (Sarah) Johnson and Abby (Glenn) Cobb. Guy loved his great-nieces and nephews: Brayden, Mia, Malachi, Kaitlyn, Kyley, Oliver, and Teddy. He loved hearing stories and seeing pictures of them growing up. He also leaves his special friends, Theresa, Ann Marie and Bob.

There will be a celebration of life at 11 a.m. Saturday, Nov. 2, 2024, at The North Stonington Baptist Church. In honor of Guy, please feel free to wear a sports jersey and bring a memory to share. In lieu of flowers, please donate to the Visiting Nurses Assoc. of CT in Guy's name.

To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.
