John Michael Johnston
August 21, 1948 – August 18, 2024
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of “Mike” on August 18, 2024, just shy of his 76th birthday. Mike bravely battled Lewy Body dementia for over a year, with the disease progressing rapidly in recent months. Despite his strength, he succumbed to complications from pneumonia after a month-long hospital stay.
Mike was the son of the late John Johnston and Joyce Johnston (née Roushorne). Beloved husband of 43 years to Dawn Johnston (née Ruggles). Together, they raised two sons, Josh (Maggie) and Justin. He cherished his role as a grandfather to Arthur and Winifred. Many close family and friends will fondly remember him.
Mike served 42 years in the Canadian military. Much of his career was as a Search and Rescue Technician where he dedicated his life to saving others. He loved being a SAR Tech and the community that it created. He was one of the original founding members of the Pararescue Association of Canada and served several times as President. His numerous contributions have set the cornerstone from which the Association is based upon today. He retired with honour on August 21, 2008.
Mike was a devoted father and was actively involved in the lives of his sons while they were growing up. From coaching baseball, curling, and golf, to leading them in Scouts, Mike cherished his time with Josh and Justin. His passion for golf and curling was well-known, and he found immense happiness in the lasting friendships they fostered. In recent years, he excelled at being Grandpa, imparting cheekiness and love to Arthur and Winnie. Mike will be remembered for his wonderful sense of humour, the joy he found in life and his work, and most of all his love for Dawn, his family and friends.
A Celebration of Life for Mike will be held on September 19th, at 2 PM. It will be located at the “413 Wing” RCAF Association, 230 N Murray St, Trenton, ON K8V 6R7
In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to the Alzheimer’s Society of Canada: alzheimer.ca.
