Obituary
Allen Howard Johnson was born to the late Clyde & Dorothea Johnson in Johnson City, New York, on February 25th, 1951. He was the eldest of ten children preceded by his parents, his sisters Sandra Coleman and Shirley Belles survived by his sisters Dorothea, Beverly, Darlene, Debra, and Diane and brothers James and Donald.
Allen was blessed with a loving family and was married to his long-time love, Debra Cooper Johnson for over forty years raising their family with love, faith, and humility residing in Ocala, Florida for the past 18 years after relocating from Pennsylvania. Allen went to be with the Lord on August 7th, 2022. He loved being on the water, boating, and fishing, had a strong kindness for animals, and an excellent talent for carpentry, driving tractor trailer, and fixing mechanical things and restoring cars with his hands. He was a kind man of few words but instilled significant lessons to his children such as checking their work twice and treating others how they would want to be treated and will be dearly missed by his loved ones.
Allen is survived by his beloved wife Debra, his daughters Amy Anthony and husband Chet Anthony, Jamie Johnson, and son Allen Howard Johnson, Jr., and wife Tanya Johnson with dear grandchildren Noah, Sage, Mataya, Breanna, Caleb, and baby Lillian Grace.
Allen is also survived by his loved daughters Connie and Christina Johnson, six wonderful grandchildren: Dakota, Hannah, Cody, Brooke, Ashley, and Bryce and two great-grandchildren: Brayden and Hunter.
May the Lord, Jesus Christ watch over Allen in His kingdom and bless him and all that knew and loved him.

I want to thank you for the time we spent together. There is a special bond between a father and daughter and I did my best to recognize and respect it while you were here.. I know that we saw eye to eye and I promise to take great care of your daughter and our family in a way you would respect. I will always miss the way you laughed at my jokes. I wish I had more time with your counsel and experience. I will teach our kids your determination, creativity, and humility and make you proud. I know that we will meet again in heaven and you are comfortable there. I wish you the greatest of peace and comfort.
Chet Anthony
