Floyd L. Johnson's Obituary
Funeral services for Floyd Lynn Johnson, age 85, of Los Gatos, CA and Shadehill, SD, will be held at 2:00 p.m. on Saturday, July 8, 2017 at the Rosebud Lutheran Church near Shadehill, SD. Pastor Tera Kossow will officiate with burial to follow in the Rosebud Lutheran Cemetery.
Floyd L. Johnson was born on May 10, 1932, to Ora Lee Johnson and Fredericka (Schnuerle) at Shadehill, SD. He was the youngest of nine children. He attended country school at Pleasant Ridge Elementary and attended Lemmon High School.
Floyd was united in marriage to Myrtice Arlene Stenberg on August 29, 1951. Three children were born to this union, Shari, Craig and Blair.
Floyd and Myrtice moved to San Jose, CA in 1952 where Floyd went to work with his older brothers, Roy and William Ray (Bud), who had started J & J Truck Lines, INC.. Floyd worked with his brothers until Roy passed away in 1956 and Bud sold the company IN 1963. Over the next several years, Floyd bought out all the new partners of J & J Truck Line, Inc. and ran it until 2000 when he closed the company.
Floyd loved South Dakota, and in 1989 he started purchasing land in the Shadehill area to build a ranch that now encompasses many thousands of acres. He always loved coming home to South Dakota and checking on his cows, then later his beloved herd of buffalo. Floyd also a third home in Buena Vista, Mexico where he loved to go deep sea fishing and entertain friends and family over the years.
Floyd was an avid hunter and enjoyed hunting pheasants, deer, antelope and other big game. He was a wonderful father, grandfather, uncle and friend. He passed away on June 13, 2017 in the early hours on Tuesday morning with his family by his side.
He is survived by his son, Blair; grandchildren, Alyssa, Corey and Amanda; sister, Irene Holroyd; and numerous nieces, nephews and friends.
