Larry Johnson Obituary - Visitation & Funeral Information

Larry Johnson, 73, of Green Bay WI, passed away on November 21, 2018 after losing his battle with cancer at his home, 1410 Morris Ave Apt # 2 Green Bay WI 54313. Larry was born in Montgomery, Alabama to Dewy Johnson and Nina Hunt on April 3, 1945. Larry set himself apart from other husbands, fathers and grandfathers, he was truly selfless and his willingness to help others was unmatched. He worked hard for many years to provide for his family. He never held back his opinion and always told it like it was. Larry was also well known for his one line words of wisdom along with mastering the art of swearing. He always made everyone laugh with his stories which usually ended in ‘And that’s when I kicked his ass.’ Some of the things he loved included anything Alabama, the game Sorry, along with his dogs Bella and Blue. His stubbornness and strong will stayed with him until the end. His last wishes were no crying and absolutely no Amazing Grace after he left this world. He will be greatly missed by everyone who knew him. He is survived by his wife, Margaret ‘Peggy’ (Brempell) Johnson, of 29 years, his four children Susan and William Brooks, Joline Josephs, Robert Jaschek, Amanda and Joe Ranthum. Along with Bart Severson who he always considered his son, Crystal Brabbit like a daughter, 15 grandchildren and 2 great grandchildren, his sisters Linda Richardson and Beverly Johnson, their spouses, numerous brother/sister-in-laws, nieces/nephews, and his best friend Jerry Keiler. Larry has been reunited in heaven with his beloved mother Nina Hunt, father Dewy Johnson and brother Benny Dennis. Celebration of Life service will be from 12 pm – 4 pm on November, 25, 2018 at 2538 Faldo Ln. Green Bay, WI 54311. Tremendous heartfelt thanks goes to Unity Hospice and all their truly compassionate caregivers, along with special thanks to Chaplin Larry who comforted the family in a time of need.
