Michael Henry Johnson lost his brief but very courageous battle with pancreatic cancer on June 23, 2024. Mike was born April 30, 1949 in Shawnee, OK to Henry Walker Johnson and Pauline Tupovich Johnson. He graduated from Denison High School in Denison, TX. In 1968 he joined the Marines, where he served in a combatant role in Vietnam. He married Jan Isenhower on August 10, 1979. Mike served as a Shawnee police officer for 25 years until his retirement as a Sgt in 2002.
Mike is survived by his wife Jan, of the home, his son Derek (Crystal) Johnson of the family farm, daughter Lindsey (Tim Klassy) Johnson of Oklahoma City, and most importantly his three grandsons, Don, Doug and Daniel, who were the light in Mike’s eyes. His beloved siblings, brother, Joe Johnson of Oklahoma City and sister Dovie (Chuck Beegle) Brown of FL, were by his side until the end.
Per Mike’s request, there will be no service. We ask that you honor his memory by enjoying the great outdoors at every opportunity. Cremation arrangements by Cooper Funeral Home of Tecumseh.
