Obituary for Fred Walter Johnson
JOHNSON, FRED WALTER
July 15, 1956 – April 5, 2020
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Fred Walter Johnson on, April 5, 2020 at the Dulcina Hospice in Calgary, Alberta. Fred was born a second generation Calgarian on July 15, 1956.
As a husband, father, brother and Papa, Fred cherished spending time with his family. The recent arrival of his granddaughter brought Fred an immense amount of joy. His kind nature and sense of humor will be greatly missed.
Fred loved sports, especially hockey, which he often played with his brothers and friends as a young man. He was a longtime fan of the Calgary Flames and Stampeders, watching their games on TV or in person, whenever the opportunity arose. He spent his free time staying active by playing golf with his wife and son. He was also an avid collector of different items that made him smile; an interest he passed on to his children. A real handyman, Fred was always hands on with repairs and renovations in his own home, as well as helping out his children whenever he could. Fred worked at the City of Calgary and more recently with Canada Post.
Fred is survived by his loving wife Mitzi of 41 years; along with their three children, daughters Jennifer (David), Ashley, son Kent and granddaughter Evelyn. Along with his brothers John (Irene), David (Carolyn), Clyde (Linda), Dennis (Rhonda), numerous nieces and nephews, sister in laws Holly and Peggy. Fred is predeceased by his parents, Edna and David, sisters Cindy and Pat, brothers Andy and Timmy, along with his granddaughter Violet.
Many thanks to Peter Lougheed Centre Unit 39, ICU and the Palliative Care Team, along with the staff at Dulcina Hospice, for all their care and compassion.
In lieu of flowers, Fred's family would appreciate if donations could be made to the Heart & Stroke Foundation in his memory. To view and share photos, condolences and stories of Fred, visit www.choicememorial.com.
