Samuel L. Johnson
November 4, 1990 — September 4, 2011
LCPL Samuel Lee Johnson, 20, passed away on September 24, 2011 in Honolulu, Hawaii. He was born in Logan, Utah on November 4, 1990 to Rex and Kelly Hyde Johnson.
Sam grew up in North Logan, and graduated from Cache High. He had a strong desire to serve his country, and started his military career just weeks after graduation. He encouraged others to do so as well. Sam trained at Fort Sill, OK. in field artillery, finishing second in his class. Sam was stationed at Kaneohe Bay in Hawaii, including a seven month deployment to Japan. He was proud to be a US Marine.
Sam was a member of the LDS church, and married Whitney Deffinger in March 2011. Sam loved his friends and family, especially his little sister. He loved sushi and food in general. He considered going to Culinary school after the Marines. He had a passion for a wide range of music genres, but preferred it heavy and loud. He took Kenpo Karate in his youth, enjoyed scouting, video and computer games and played sports. He had a keen mind and amazing memory.
Next to his infectious smile, Sam’s greatest attribute was his capacity to love and reach out to others. He was always ready with that mischievous smile and great big hugs. We are so proud to be his family.
Our heartfelt thanks for the love and support we have received at this difficult time. A special note of love and appreciation to those who have traveled long distances to be here to honor our Sammy. There is no greater tribute.
Sam is survived by his parents, sister Veronica, and grandmother Arlene Loosle Johnson. He is also survived by Whitney and her family. Sam had so many Aunts and Uncles and cousins that loved him, too many to list by name. He loved you all.
Grieve not,
nor speak of me with tears,
but laugh and talk of me
as if I were beside you...
I loved you so--
'twas Heaven here with you.
