Douglas Michael Johnson was born June 30, 1941 to Mike and Dena Johnson of Rural Ashton, Ia. Douglas was born physically and mentally disabled. He was in the care of his parents until his mother could no longer care for him.
Doug lived in Assisted Living in Ashton, Viola House in Sibley and lastly in Sibley Specialty care where he passed away Wednesday, April 10, at the age of 77.
His mother was faithfully devoted to taking care of him. We all say it was only a mother’s love that kept him alive, as he was not expected to live due to his premature birth.
Doug was very special to his older siblings. He leaves many memories of the all the things he accomplished. Lots of fun and laughter. Doug had his own language which his siblings understood. Doug was very happy at Specialty Care and the personal there cared for him in a very special way. He will be missed.
