Randy Wayne Johnson, age 60, peacefully returned home, surrounded by loved ones Friday, Dec. 27, 2019, in Salt Lake City, Utah. Born in Provo, Utah, to Wayne and Pat Johnson, his childhood was spent between Provo, Springville, Salt Lake City, and Tooele, Utah.
While in Tooele, he attended Tooele Junior High, where he met a young lady by the name of Donna Cleveland. After graduating in 1977 from Tooele High School, Randy and Donna were married Dec. 16, 1988, in the Salt Lake City Temple, before attending Dixie College. The couple lived in many places, including Mesquite, Nevada; St. George, Utah; Salt Lake City; and finally settled in Tooele, Utah. Recently, Randy resided in Salt Lake City, Utah.
Randy had a kind heart, and loved to talk. He always had a story to tell, and always found a way to make a friend, no matter where he went. His friends will remember his long-winded tales, and his constant compassion. Despite his own poor health, he was always making sure others were doing alright. He had a sharp memory, and rarely forgot a single face. His siblings will remember all of the childhood escapades Randy instigated, always willing to have fun, having been a member of the New Reflections Clubhouse for some time, befriending and affecting countless people for the better.
Randy is survived by his wife, Donna; his parents; his siblings, Mark (Joan) Johnson of Kaysville, Vicki (Terry) Riedel or Erie, Colorado, Karen (Jerry) Richards of Tooele, and Donald Johnson of Tooele; many nieces, nephews and friends.
Funeral services will be held Friday, Jan. 3, at the LDS Church, 752 N. 520 East, Tooele. The viewing will begin at 10 a.m. with the funeral service starting at 11 a.m. Funeral arrangements are under the directions of Didericksen Funeral Home.
