Grandpa Johnson’s Funeral

    No Comments

    My Grandpa passed away early Thursday morning – October 22nd 2015. He was 92. He passed quietly in his bed with his Wife and 3 daughters surrounding him the entire week. Arden Ford Johnson was a good man. He served his Country as a young man and he was devoted to his family. We only saw my grandparents once a year when we were growing up but these last 18 years I have been in Utah and able to see them more often and get to know them a bit better. Grandpa was always sitting in his chair and excited for any visitors who came through the door. He always had the heater going and a beanie on his bald head even during the summer! He usually had a good story or two tell and would always ask us “what’s new?” We Miss You Grandpa Great.

    We visited with everyone on Thursday evening and looked through old pictures.

    Grandpa lived in Orem but he was born and raised in Kanab and often spent the winters there. We drove down to Kanab on Sunday and met up with almost ALL of the family!

    The Funeral was a Great Celebration of his life. Lots of memories were shared. At the Burial they had a 21 Gun Salute for his service in the Navy! Benji and Packer kept two of the shells!

    At the end they let all of the Great Grand Kids send balloons up to Heaven for Grandpa Great!

    It’s hard to say bye to your Grandpa. It’s really HARD to say Goodbye to your Husband and Dad.(good thing these ladies are tough). We got to see Uncle Bruce’s Grave Site and Grandpa’s Parents and lots of other Johnson extended family.

    UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN 🙂
