Stanley Dale Johnson was born on June 18, 1943 In Irondale, MO. He left this life to go on ahead of his family to heaven on March 29,2013. He was at home where he wanted to be with his wife and two children. Just three of the people he most wanted to be with. He was one of 12 children in the family. Stan was preceded in death by his parents Lee and Edna Johnson sisters Delores, Nadine, Geraldine, Beatrice, Alice, Opal and a younger sister who died in infancy as well as his brothers Eugene and Carol. He is survived by sister Ruby and brother Carl. He is also survived by his wife Jean B. (nee Rose) Johnson, daughter Laura, grandson CJ (Boogie) and son James (Turkey Joe) and his wife Amanda. He also was survived by many nieces and nephews Harold (J.R.) Tom, Bob, Patricia, Carl David, Melissa, Tamala, Dolly, and many many others.

After leading what can only be described as a eventful and fun filled youth he settled down and married Jean Brimner Rose in 1972. Where many new adventures began.

Stan was a jack of all trades and worked many jobs he found interesting. He worked everything from changing tires, cattle herdsmen, driving a tractor trailer over the road (15yrs) office furniture manufacturing (receiving awards for creating new and better ways to improve manufacturing for the company), to fiberglass and finally retiring as a forklift driver in 2005 from Owens Corning .

Stan and Jean became family to many many others over the years. Taking and and making family of many of their children’s friends and their children as they grew.

As well as grandchildren Codi,Kathryn, Karrie, Krystal and Kylan, Claudia, Ireland, James, Tina, Madelyne, Bridget, AJ, Samantha, Marissa, Lanea, Nik, Angel, Alyssa, Brad, Angel and of course poppy’s sweetheart Rachael.

Stan liked to fish and camp. He loved to travel as well. Driving over the road gave him that opportunity. During the summer months he would take his family with him. They would see the country, stopping along the way to visit with family and friends.

Memorial service will be held on April 8, 2013 at First Presbyterian Church of Independence. Visitation will be at 9 A.M. followed by the service at 10 A.M. There will be a memorial camping trip on Memorial weekend as well.

I am so glad to be able to read this. Stanley was able to spread joy through a lot of lives as he and his family travelled the highways and byways sharing his love of life. He did all he could in this world, his body was tired. He is resting now and smiling down on those he loved, and those that loved him. Thank you for all joy you gave to others.
