Gary Edward Johnson

Gary Edward Johnson was born on November 5, 1951 in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma to Maxine Bailey (Jackson) and Floyd Perry.  He was adopted by Wallace and Leana Johnson of Chickasha, Oklahoma where he attended school.  Gary was joined in marriage to Sherion Jenkins in December 2014.

Among the many occupations that Gary employed throughout the years, he built mobile homes, worked on oil rigs, and worked on railroads.  Gary was a man of many talents.  He is known to be a skilled auto mechanic, and some may surmise that he could build a house with his bare hands.  Gary also was a man with many passions.  He loved to repair and drive fast cars.  He was an avid fisherman.  He loved to cook. He loved gardening.  He loved music.  And he loved to dance.
