Ronald T. Johnson
July 13, 1937 - June 17, 2025

Ron Johnson passed away peacefully after five years of health struggles.

Ron grew up and lived his entire life in Blue Lake. He was a logging truck driver for 53 years, known to all local truckers as “Rabbit Ears.” He worked most of his career for Sierra Pacific and retired after 46 years.

He is preceded in death by his wife, Ilene Johnson; son Wayne Johnson; and his parents Tip and Elsie Johnson. He is survived by his sons David Johnson, Jeff (Leanne) Johnson and Greg (Kristie) Johnson; grandson Dane (Mary) Johnson and granddaughter Kaci Johnson.

We would like to thank Dolores, Emerly, Paula and all others who cared for him with so much compassion and love. Thank you Hospice and Hospice volunteers for their time and compassionate care.

At Ron’s request there will be no celebration of life. Donations can be made to Hospice of Humboldt.
