Keith Johnson

Keith Edward Johnson passed away on October 22, 2023 at the age of 68 in Wichita, Kansas. Keith Edward Johnson, loving father of five children, Clay Johnson and his wife Vanessa Leos, Ty Morrison, Rikki Johnson, Justin Johnson, and Jessica Ellison; brothers and sisters, Linda Johnson, Brenda Garcia, Gail Magson, William Brooks, Gary Sheets, and Sandra Diane Chavez Cavanaugh. He is also survived by numerous grandchildren, including Clay Johnson's children, Matthew Johnson, Izaiy Johnson, Leonardo Hermosillo, YatzHil Hermosillo; Justin Johnson's children, Tez Johnson, Relina Johnson, Diamondique Johnson, Arlando Johnson, Daniel Johnson, Keldon Johnson, Jelissa Hardyway, Jeray Hardyway, and JoJo Johnson; Jessica Ellison's children, Donshae Coleman, Leilah Coleman, Dontrell Coleman, Demarco Coleman, and Londyn Coleman. Beyond the family that Keith has left behind, Keith was a man of community. Keith was always around, either fixing somebody's car, giving someone a ride, fixing somebody a plate of food, or his most favored activity: teaching somebody how to fish.

Keith was always searching for different ways to have fun outdoors. He loved to go camping and tell scary stories to his children. He loved to bring everybody together to shoot BB guns and play basketball. He loved to make jokes and pull pranks. Keith also loved Boxer dogs, which he had a couple of throughout his life - Rosco and Cosmo.

Whenever you saw Keith walking around, he was instantly recognizable. He always had wild curly hair put into a ponytail with a signature faded red hat. He could perhaps be seen in his pickup truck going to the lake, holding up a peace sign if you happened to catch him.

A Celebration of Life Service will be held Saturday, October 28 at 10am at Broadway Mortuary.
