Obituary for Mr. Brian Scott Johnson On Friday, September 7, 2018, Brian Scott Johnson, loving husband and father of three children; Papa of six grandchildren, went home to his maker and Lord Jesus Christ at the age of 65. Brian was born on July 25, 1953 in Hallock, MN to Cecil Johnson and Evelyn (Kruse). He graduated from Hallock High School in 1971 where he starred as a three sport athlete and captain of his hockey team.

He went to Golden Valley Lutheran College and graduated in 1973, and Augsburg in 1975. He then went on to Luther Northwestern Seminary where he graduated with a Master’s Degree in Divinity in 1979. He was ordained in the Evangelical Lutheran Church in 1979.

On August 18, 1973, he married Sally Irene Hallstrom. They raised one daughter, Angela, and two sons Jared and Justin. Brian had a passion for many things, but the most important of these is his love for Jesus Christ.

He shared this daily with his family, and everyone he encountered each and every day. This was also shown through his career as a pastor in Bock, MN at Emmanuel Church, and then at Grace Lutheran Church in Deephaven, MN. Upon leaving the ministry he continued following his passion for people serving those with disabilities.

He truly made a powerful impact on those he met. Brian was preceded in death by his father, Cecil; mother, Evelyn, and his brothers Kurt and Myles. His legacy will be carried on by those close to him.

He is survived by his wife of 45 years, Sally; his 3 children, Angela Harden (Matt), Jared Johnson (Kerri) and Justin Johnson (Ashley); 6 grandchildren, Karissa, Kaylin, Micah, Ava, Brockton, soon to be arriving grandson; his sister Julie Matula; many beloved nieces and nephews; and his brothers-in law and sisters-in-law. Sally and the family would like to invite you for a visitation from 10 to 11 followed by a celebration of life service at 11 on Saturday September the 15 in the Chapel at Grace Church Eden Prairie 9301 Eden Prairie Rd, Eden Prairie, MN 55347. One of Sally and Brian’s favorite things to do was to go for walks at Purgatory Park in Minnetonka.

Any contributions will be used dedicate a bench there in remembrance of Brian. Sally hopes this bench can be a place that others can enjoy, as well as be a place to remember Brian.
