LOGAN – William Kenneth Johnson, beloved husband, father, grandpa, great grandpa, and friend, peacefully entered the presence of our Heavenly Father and into the arms of his parents on September 9, 2010 at the age of 68, due to complications of illness.
Bill was born in Logan, UT on April 29, 1942 to William Alton Johnson and Ella Eugena Jones.
Bill grew up in Logan and attended Logan City Schools. At the age of eight his father passed away, and he became the man of the house. He later dropped out of school to provide for his family.
Bill was a devoted member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and held several callings throughout the years.
Bill entered into marriage with his beloved eternal companion, Carolyn Humphreys, on July 31, 1961 in the Logan LDS Temple.
