Scott always had a positive attitude, a big smile , and always lived life to the fullest on whatever he did. He really looked forward to deer hunting season, a family tradition. Even if he didn’t go out hunting, or have bullets in his gun, (lol), he just enjoyed the time he got to spend with everyone.

Scott will be deeply missed by the love of his life, Jeanne; sister, Karen (Neil) Brownell; brothers, Curtis (Kip) (Debbey) Johnson, Greg (Diane) Johnson, Jeff (Linda) Johnson; many nieces and nephews ( who he loved to instigate and give crap too); sisters-in-law, Irene Johnson and Judy Johnson; and his four legged buddy, Ziggy Stardust Johnson. Scott is preceded in death by his parents, Lillian and Gordon Johnson; infant sister, Linda; brothers, Barry and Lonnie.
