He graduated from Hialeah High School in Hialeah, Florida; Jackson Memorial Hospital School of Nursing and the University of Miami in Miami, Florida; and Wesley School of Anesthesia in Wichita, Kansas.

He served two four-year terms on the Olney School Board, and many years on the Education Service District Budget Committee. He was a 30-year member of First Lutheran Church, and served as a Cub Scout and Boy Scout leader. He was so proud when all three sons earned their Eagle Scout rank. He was often seen around town on one of his Harleys. Johnson was a nurse anesthetist at Columbia Memorial Hospital for more than 30 years. Despite the stress and long hours, he truly loved his job. After retiring, Johnson was married to Laura Lynn McEnulty, and is survived by stepchildren Stephanie (Curtis) Olds and Brian McEnulty (Katie) and grandson Colin. They later divorced.
