Kenneth Dean Johnson
On January 8, 2022, Kenneth Dean Johnson passed away at his home in Deer Lodge, Montana surrounded by his four children and family at the age of 75.  Ken was born in Deer Lodge on November 14, 1946, to Allen Palmer Johnson and Marian Ruth (Christoffersen) Johnson.  
He graduated from Powell County High School in 1965.  After accepting a full-ride scholarship to play basketball at Montana State University, he transferred to Graceland College in Lamoni, Iowa, and graduated with a BA in 1969.  Ken then began his career in education, teaching, and coaching.  After leaving education, he became the proud owner/operator of Captain’s Quarters Dry Stak Marina in Le Claire, Iowa for 25 years.  Ken returned to his beloved hometown, residing near his family’s ranch, in his beautiful log cabin built on their original homestead.  He enjoyed spending his time outdoors, hunting, fishing, collecting horns, working on the family ranch, and tending to his land. Throughout those years, he spent time traveling and capturing pictures of beautiful scenery and special moments with loved ones.  
In his later years, he found a passion for gathering Montana moss agates, tumbling and polishing them to perfection with his significant other Barb Simonsen.  Ken was a devoted father and grandfather who made many trips to the midwest to spend time with his children and grandchildren.  He will always be remembered as an advisor, role model, listener, and supporter of all their activities.
Ken is survived by his four loving children and 12 grandchildren Tonja Lynelle Ross (Logan, Connor), Dean Allen Johnson (Chloe, Madelyn, Mason), Kyle Robert and (Kari) Johnson (Koby, Tyson, Kendal, Trey, Presley), Austin Shane and (Adrienne) Johnson (Arley, Parker); and his four siblings John Johnson, Kay and (Carl) Hoyt, Dave and (Barb) Johnson, Cindy Clawson; and many nieces and nephews.  Ken was preceded in death by his parents Allen and Marian Johnson.  
A memorial service was held on Saturday, January 15th. Ken was laid to rest at Hillcrest Cemetery, next to his parents. Condolences may be mailed to Axelson Funeral and Cremation Services, 2009 Harrison Ave., Butte, MT 59701 and will be forwarded to Ken’s family.
