Brian Theodore Johnson, 89, formerly of Arcadia, Florida, passed away on February 22, 2026, in Marshfield, Missouri. Brian was born on January 25, 1937, in Superior, Wisconsin, to Theodore and Madilyn (Carlson) Johnson.
He joined the US Army in 1956 and served his country proudly in the Korean War, receiving the Good Conduct Medal. Brian was a man of many talents, working in construction in the Chicago area and later in Naples, Florida, at a restaurant. He eventually owned and operated Kneaded Loaf in Port Charlotte, Florida.
Brian was a member of the Conway, Missouri First Baptist Church. He had a deep love of dogs, and the breed or size did not matter—he loved them all.
He is predeceased by his beloved wife, Sandi (Crafton) Johnson, who passed in 2013, and his son, Kurt Adrian Johnson, who passed in 2019.
Brian leaves behind to honor him his son, Keith Alan Johnson, daughter, Kimberly Ann Underwood, son-in-law, Shawn Mardrell, and several grandchildren and great-grandchildren living in Missouri, Arkansas, and Oklahoma.
The family is planning to hold a Celebration of Life in Conway. At this time, they request that donations in Brian’s honor be made to the First Baptist Church of Conway Food Pantry.
