Howard E. Johnson, a resident of Larwill, passed away in Fort Wayne's Parkview Regional Medical Center on Thursday, January 5, 2023. He was 71 years old.

 

Born in Auburn, IN on July 26, 1951, Howard was the son of Ross and Marjorie (Robbins) Johnson. He attended school in Auburn and Garrett and was married to Michele Roberts on November 4, 1972. The pair shared more than fifty years together before Howard's Thursday morning passing.

He enjoyed hunting, fishing and trapping(when he was younger). He also enjoyed bowling. He was a past member of the American Legion, Post 157 and the Eagles of Columbia City. He was an honorably discharged veteran of the United States Army and liked watching tv shows like Bering Sea Gold and GoldRush.
