Johnson wasn't the type to seek recognition whether it was as an educator, mayor or working with farmers, said his niece Carol Brasher. He was beloved by his former students and athletes and enjoyed keeping in touch with them, she said. "It's just so hard to put into words, he was the person that was always there when there was a need," Brasher said. "I think the visitation and funeral will show the outpouring for all the things he did for people that nobody knew about. The main thing I will remember is he was always the person who stood quietly in the back of the room and made sure everything was done right.
