DeVon DeVon

DeVon Johnson, 84, peacefully passed away of cancer, Wednesday, July 13, 2011 at his home surrounded by his loving family. He was born February 26, 1927 in Midvale, Utah to Arthur Romeril (Red) and Ruth Johnson. He was raised in Carbon County where he met and married his childhood sweetheart, Ruth Johnson, on August 12, 1944. Their marriage was later solemnized in the Idaho Falls LDS Temple, May 8, 1958. Together they had 6 children as well as 25 grandchildren and 57 great-grandchildren, each of whom is sure that they are Grandpas favorite. DeVon loved his work, and had a successful business career in the paint industry beginning with W.P. Fuller and ending with Kwal Paint when he retired at the age of 81. He loved spending time in the outdoors with his family, and enjoyed both snow-skiing and waterskiing until he was 78 years old. He has served as an ordinance worker in the Bountiful temple. He had a positive approach to life, and he was always quick to let you know that he never had a bad day.
