Born September 15, 1945, in Sandusky, son of Marvin Francis and Ruth Agnes (Shimp) Johnson. He was a graduate of Sandusky High School. Mike had worked at Sandusky Ford Motor Co. for 40 years, retiring in 2004. Over the years, he had enjoyed golfing as a member of the K of C Golf League, and playing dartball, but he especially loved and looked forward to going on golf trips, with his wife Melissa, to Mt Pleasant, Michigan, and Virginia.

Mike was a member of Ford UAW Local.

He is survived by his wife of 31 years, Melissa A. (DeCaro) Johnson, whom he married August 14, 1993; a sister, Claire (Brian) Scheid; a sister-in-law, Michelle M. (Dan) Kaman; his brother-in-law, Michael P. (Kristin) DeCaro; a niece, Kayle (Ben) Stover and her son, Dawson; his nephews, Daniel (Renay) Kaman and his family, Maria and DJ III, and Ian and Koy DeCaro; a daughter, Kelly Soule; and his son, Scott Johnson; his grandchildren; and his very good friend, Mike Ross.

Mike was preceded in death by his parents; a son, Jeff Johnson; and his three brothers, Jim, Bill, and Chuck Johnson.

It was his wish to be cremated and to have no funeral services.

The family suggests that memorial contributions may be made in his memory to Stein Hospice Service, Inc., 1200 Sycamore Line, Sandusky, OH 44870.

Arrangements are entrusted to David F. Koch Funeral and Cremation Services, 520 Columbus Avenue, Sandusky, OH.
