Julian C. Johnson, age 75, died Wednesday, May 19, 2021 after a hard-fought battle with terminal cancers. Julian was born May 28, 1945 in Mondovi, WI to Julius O. and Agnes (Nichols) Johnson. Julian spent the majority of his life in the Mondovi area living with his mother. He touched the lives of many people with his smile, joy of many hobbies, and storytelling.
Julian never had a formal job, but he enjoyed sharing stories of his life growing up on the farm, driving horses, and mischief he had gotten into as a child. He enjoyed spending his days working on “woodworking” projects, collecting his treasures, fishing, riding on the pontoon boat, thrift sales, and visiting with his extended family which included the Bednar/Ouverson clan. The family and his guardian would like to thank the Bednar and Ouverson family and The Arc Eau Claire, Inc. for their care and support of Julian. Julian’s friendly smile and joy of spending time with people endeared him to everyone who was lucky enough to have spent time with him.
Julian is survived by his nieces Pat, Jackie and Linda; his nephew Sonny; as well as many other relatives and many friends.
Julian was preceded in death by his father Julius; his mother Agnes; and his sister Joybelle.
