Scott Johnson

Scott L. Johnson, 64, of Leader passed away March 21, 2023, at Essentia St. Joseph’s Hospital in Brainerd.

A celebration of life will be held Weds., March 29 at 11:00 a.m. at the Motley Free Methodist Church with Pastor Jim Johnson officiating. Visitation will be held one hour prior to the services at the church. 

Scott was born January 22, 1959 to Gordon and Lillian (Bendson) Johnson in Staples.

Scott enjoyed fishing, especially at Lard Lake, working on cars and Farmall tractors, spending time on his four wheeler and taking Sunday cruises on his motorcycle. Scott worked as a Heavy Equipment Operator and later became a grader operator for Cass County until his retirement. Scott always had a positive attitude, a big smile and lived life to the fullest in whatever he did. He looked forward to deer hunting season, a family tradition. Even if he didn’t go out hunting, or have bullets in his gun, he enjoyed the time he spent with everyone.

Scott will be deeply missed by the love of his life, Jeanne; one sister, Karen (Neil) Brownell; three brothers, Curtis (Kip), (Debbey) Johnson, Greg (Diane) Johnson and Jeff (Linda) Johnson; many nieces and nephews (whom he loved to instigate and give crap to); two sisters-in-law, Irene Johnson and Judy Johnson and his four legged buddy, Ziggy Stardust Johnson. 

Scott is preceded in death by his parents; infant sister, Linda and two brothers, Barry and Lonnie.

Arrangements are by Taylor Funeral Home, Staples.
