Freeman Johnson
May 11, 1963 - August 1, 2024
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the sudden passing of Freeman Johnson, on August 1, 2024, surrounded by family and friends. Freeman was best known for his love of auctions, farming events, and anything tractor related. He was always willing to lend a helping hand and his dry sense of humour always kept you guessing. He took great pride in being an active member of both the Walpole Antique Farm Machinery Association and the 1st Ontario Two Cylinder Club.
Freeman leaves behind his wife Suzie Johnson and daughters Megan and Amy Johnson. He will be deeply missed by siblings Dan & Judy Montour, Marion (late Ron) Garlow, Ross & Joanne Johnson, Joyce Longboat, John & Judy Johnson, Jane (late Chuck) Garrow, and Wendy Johnson. He will also be missed by in-laws Barb and Gray Stewardson, Joel Stewardson & Melissa Pursley, and Jennifer & Tim Rice. He is predeceased by parents Ross & Muriel Johnson, siblings Wanda & Les Horvath, Pat & Herm Montour, Marsha & Wayne Skye, Bonnie Derouchie, Tim Johnson, and cherished uncle Tom Montour. He will also be greatly missed by many nieces, nephews, cousins and friends.
We would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to the nurses on the 3rd Floor of the West Haldimand General Hospital for their exceptional care and compassion. We would also like to send a special thank you to Dale for her endless support and dedication to our family.
Cremation has taken place. There will be a Celebration of Life planned for a later date. Arrangements by R.H.B. Anderson Funeral Homes in Hagersville.
Condolences
