OBITUARY Johnny R. Taft May 11, 1941 – December 28, 2018 Taft, Johnny 77. Mr. Taft proudly served his country in the US Army for over 20 years, retiring as a Staff Sergeant. He has now left us on earth to serve His Lord in Heaven.

He was preceded in death by his son, Johnny Michael Taft; his parents, Minnie and Bob Taft; his sister Virginia Lee Thompson; and his brother Bobby Gene Taft. He leaves behind the love of his life, his childhood sweetheart, best friend, and wife of over 57 years, Anita Taft; his beloved son, Christopher Brian Taft; his cherished daughter Christina Diana Taft; and dear sister, Vera Louise Waller. He also leaves behind the joys in his life, his grandchildren, Justin Michael, Danielle Lorraine, Megan Nicole, Morgan Noel, and Brian Daniel.

The other joys in his life are his great-grandchildren, Easton Lane, Alexander Scott, Savannah Ann, Parker John, Aubrey Diana, and soon to join us, William Taft Davidson. Mr. Taft had a very active career in the Army, including two tours in Vietnam. Through his service, he was deployed to a variety of places including Germany, Colorado, Georgia, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Alabama, and finally his final stop here in Copperas Cove, Texas.

After retiring from Uncle Sam, he later went on to also serve with the City of Copperas Cove for another 23 years. In his down time, he enjoyed fishing, hunting and playing golf. But more than his hobbies, his greatest love and enjoyment was his time with his family – his wife and especially with the children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren.

He was given the nickname “The Prankster” as he was always playing practical jokes with the kids. A public viewing for Mr. Taft will be held at Crawford Bowers Funeral Home, 211 W. Ave B, Copperas Cove on Jan. 3, 2019 from 6-8 pm.

A funeral service will be held on Jan. 4, 2019 at Crawford Bowers at 10 am with interment to follow at the Central Texas State Veterans Cemetery. Words of comfort for the Taft family may be expressed at www.
