Wayne G Johnson

Wayne G. Johnson, 77, passed away on September 20, 2016 in Loveland, CO. Wayne was the husband of Jody Johnson. They shared 49 years of marriage together.

Born in Preston, Idaho, he was the son of George and Eldora Johnson. After graduating high school in June of 1957, Wayne enlisted in the Navy, and served his country until July of 1961.

After his service, Wayne spent the next 45 years in the van line industry. He worked for Mayflower Van Lines, Greyhound Van Lines, and then made his way to Atlas Van Lines until his retirement from there in 2004. During his career with Atlas, he received the ""Driver of the Year"" award twice. Atlas is also what brought Wayne and his family to Colorado in 1977.

Wayne Johnson was a fun loving, hard working man, that was LARGER THAN LIFE.

He brought a smile to everyone he met. Even after being diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease, he still maintained that grin and incredible spirit. Wayne will be missed dearly by everyone that knew him.
