Rick "RJ" Lee Johnson

Rick “RJ” Lee Johnson, 58, of Woodland, IN, passed away on January 11, 2020, at his home. Rick was born to the late Charles K. and Beverly (Laufmann) Johnson in Goshen, IN on June 4, 1961. On February 11, 1989, he married the love of his life, Brenda (McClish) Johnson who survives him.

He is also survived by his children, Dustin (Kaila) Vargo and Traci Lee (Jason); in-laws, James and Wanda McClish; grandchildren, Sabrina, Sophia, Avery, Samantha and Austin; siblings, Marilyn (Michael) Vance, Charles (Cindy) Johnson and Kris (Marie) Johnson; nieces and nephews, Kristopher II (Abby), Nikolet (Aaron), Victoria (Taylor), Valerie, Lyndsey, Brittany (Alissa), Jerracka, Meagan, Jarred, Clayton and Arianna as well as his bandmates and many friends that were his family.

Rick enjoyed family time at the lake house, Maine vacations and fishing trips to Minnesota with his brother. He had a love of the outdoors and especially enjoyed fishing in his new bass boat. Rick shared his love of animals with his daughter, Traci Lee. He always had a fun time at game nights with his family and everyone always looked forward to the best home cooking and barbeque. Rick loved to listen to music with family and reminisce about good times with all his friends and bandmates. He was known by many as a gentle giant who worked hard for all of those he loved. Rick would be there for anyone who needed help and many people could call him their best friend. Time spent with him always brought fun, laughter and smiles. Rick truly was a genuine man. Though his passing brings immense grief, our eventual reunion in God’s presence will outweigh it all.
