Don L. Johnson
Don L. Johnson was born Jan. 3, 1949, in Batesville. Ark., to Mae and Dalton Johnson.
They moved to the Wichita area when Don was only three years old. He attended Wichita schools, graduating from Heights High School in 1967. He began working for Goodyear upon completion of Vo-Tech School.
He married Janice L. May on Jan. 8, 1972 at the Wellington First Presbyterian Church. To this union a daughter, Heather Dawn was born. Shortly after her birth he went to work for the Sumner County Road and Bridge Department, and later he formed a partnership with his father in D & D Construction.
Health concerns forced his retirement from the construction business a few years ago, and since then he spent his time between helping Ken Patterson at his auction house, gardening in his backyard, and being Pa-Pa to his only grandson, Jacob.
Don and Jacob loved spending time together, and Jacob especially loved the time he spent with Pa-Pa driving down country roads.
Another special time for Don was Fridays. He and his sweetheart Janice seldom missed spending a Friday together. It was "Their Day." He doted on Heather while she was growing up and she has always been his pride and joy.
Don suffered a heart attack early Sunday morning, March 14, 2004, and passed away shortly thereafter. He was 55 years old.
He is survived by his wife, Janice, daughter Heather and grandson Jacob, all of the home in Wellington, and his parents, Ina Mae and Dalton Johnson of Wichita.
