Robert James “B.J.” Johnson was born April 4, 1987 at Mercy Hospital in Coon Rapids to Bob and Sandie Johnson. He resided in Andover with his parents until age three when his family moved to Isanti. B.J. was a 2005 graduate from Cambridge–Isanti High School. He was employed by Laidlaw Transportation. There was always a twinkle in B.J.’s eyes and he kept us laughing with his antics. He was a man of few words, but those spoken had impact. B.J. enjoyed football, wrestling, softball, fishing, dogs and his nieces and nephews. He was an avid NASCAR fan and had attended races in Arizona and Texas. B.J.’s passion was motors, working on them and being pit crew chief for Andy Englund’s race car team.

On June 15, 2007 B.J. joined Jesus, “Granny” Ida Johnson and cousin Christine Lahr for a celebration in his eternal home. B.J. passed away as the result of an automobile accident at the age of 20 years, 2 months and 20 days.

B.J. will be loved forever by parents, Bob and Sandie of Isanti; brother, Derek (Amie) of Princeton; sister, Melissa (Wayne) Morey of Isanti; niece, Samantha Henderson and nephews, Jordan and Camerin Morey of Isanti; love of his life, Fawn Hanson of Isanti; grandparents, Lowell and Eleanor Putnam of Milaca, Herb Johnson of Elbow Lake; and by many aunts, uncles, cousins and friends.
