Jon Ernest Johnson was born September 13, 1963 in St. Cloud to Walter and Irene (Brown) Johnson. He grew up in Annandale, was baptized and confirmed at St. John's Lutheran Church in Annandale, and graduated from Annandale High School. Jon continued his education in journalism following high school. In Jon's younger years, he was a staff writer for Gold Mine Magazine, an Editor in Chief for DISCoveries Magazine, and self-published the book "Make Your Own Kind of Music: A Career Retrospect of Cass Elliot". As a man that loved the written and spoken word, he learned and became fluent in the Swedish language. Jon worked as the friendliest retail clerk a person could meet at Goodwill in St. Cloud, Ritz Camera Stores in Minneapolis, and most recently at Holiday in Annandale. He enjoyed writing, floral gardening, listening to wind chimes and music, and creating abstract art. His big smile and friendly spirit will be missed.

Jon is survived by his two sisters, Janet (Clarence) Temte of Robbinsdale and Karen (Joel) Critcher of Boone, NC; Godchild, Jackie Knack; and many cousins and friends. He was preceded in death by his parents, Walter and Irene Johnson; and grandparents, Ernest and Gerda Johnson and Hazel and Wesley Petty.
