Kenneth James Johnson Jr.

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Kenneth Johnson, a beloved son, brother, and friend, who left this world on December 9, 2025, at the age of 26. Kenneth was born on April 16, 1999, in Reno, Nevada, to Kenneth Johnson Sr. and Julia Clark. He was raised by his grandparents Sarah Evelyn Johnson and Raymond Johnson. He grew up surrounded by the vibrant beauty of the Silver State, where his adventurous spirit began to flourish. Kenneth graduated from Mineral County High School in 2017, where he was known not just for his academic achievements, but for his kindness and compassion towards others. He possessed a unique ability to light up any room he entered, leaving a lasting impression on everyone he met. Following his graduation, Kenneth dedicated himself to the workforce, proudly holding positions at McDonald's and Burger King. During these years, he developed a strong work ethic and a genuine passion for helping others, embodying the values of service that defined his character. Kenneth was always quick to lend a helping hand to anyone in need, whether it was friends, family, or even strangers. His hobbies and interests were deeply rooted in his desire to make a difference in the world around him. He found joy in the simplest of acts, always ready to support those he loved and uplift those who were struggling. Kenneth's warmth and generosity will be profoundly missed by everyone who had the privilege of knowing him. He is survived by his loving siblings, Sarah Johnson, Brian Petean, and Samuel Waples, who will forever cherish the beautiful memories created with their brother. Kenneth's family was everything to him, and he took great pride in celebrating their accomplishments and supporting them through life's challenges. Tragically, Kenneth's life was cut short due to a seizure, a sudden and devastating event that has left a void in the hearts of all who knew him. His legacy of kindness, generosity, and love will live on in the stories shared by his friends and family, who continue to carry his spirit within them. In honor of Kenneth, let us remember him not only for the way he lived his life but also for the love he shared with others. As we come together to celebrate his memory, we encourage everyone to carry forward his legacy of compassion and kindness. Kenneth Johnson will be deeply missed but never forgotten. His light will continue to shine in the hearts of those who loved him.
