John "Jack"
Johnson
Oct 7, 1946 — Mar 28, 2025
Pensacola
John Allen (Jack) Johnson, formerly of St. Joseph, died on March 28, 2025 at Vitas Hospice in Pensacola, Florida after a brief battle with cancer.
Jack was born October 7, 1946 in St Joseph, Michigan to Leo R. Johnson and Ruth Samsen Johnson. He attended St. Joseph Catholic High School graduating in 1965. Jack served in the U.S. Army and spent 10 months in Viet Nam. When he returned to St. Joseph, he became a bricklayer apprentice and spent his entire career as a brick and stone mason. Jack married Susan Dahms in June of 1970. In 1984 he moved his family to Loveland, Colorado where he lived until 2022 when he and Susan moved to Pensacola, Florida to be near the beach.
He is survived by his wife Susan; three children, Drew (Victoria) Johnson, Marc (Tabbatha) Johnson, and Danielle (Craig) Nelson; nine grandchildren, Jordan and Aerin Johnson, Reganne, Kylie and Kash Johnson, Baylee (Grady) Frantz, Bree Vincent, Addyson Nelson, and Aidrick Nelson; one great grandson, Ryatt Frantz; and six sisters, Mariea Schmitt, Janet Varney, Nancy Bookwalter, Kathy Ott, Kristy Schmitt and Debbie Nelson. He is preceded in death by his parents, brothers Bobby and Jimmy Johnson, and nephew Josh Bookwalter.
There will be a small service to celebrate Jack's life at Risen Savior Lutheran Church in Navarre, Florida and he will be buried at Fort Logan National Cemetery in Colorado at a later date.
Jack was a devout Christian man and we rejoice knowing he is with Jesus now and no longer battling the horrible disease that took his life.
