Johnson of Roswell; three sisters Carrie Cummins of Dewey, Jo Ann Robinson of Owasso, and Cherria Lee Hunt of San Antonio, TX; step daughter, Deborah Romero and Ruby of San Diego, CA; step son Andrew Arnold of Fredericksburg, CO; five grandchildren, Catrina Gomez and Fernando of San Diego, Brandon Arnold and Amanda of Roswell, Cara Arnold of Hobbs, NM, Robbi Cook and Brent of San Diego, and Santiago Romero of Roswell; seven great grandchildren, and many nieces and nephews.

He was preceded in death by his parents and wife of 28 years Kitty Johnson.
