Johnson, Earl Marvin
Earl Marvin Johnson was born March 3, 1956, in Yuma, Arizona.
Earl was the youngest of three boys born to Dorothy M. Johnson. Earl was raised in Yuma, and a proud graduate of Yuma High School, Class of 1974. After graduating high school he moved to northern California to pursue college baseball and eventually semi-pro. In northern California is where he started his family. First born to him was Jessica Rose Johnson. Later came the twins, Jermyn Jay and Jacquelyn Kate Johnson. Soon after the twins were born he relocated his family to Yuma, Arizona in 1986.
Earl was a high energized man who enjoyed sports, fishing, and cooking. Everyone around town knew him for his athletic talents and hobbies. There was never a dull moment hanging out with Earl. Earl was someone who couldn't sit still for one moment. He was always working on some project, cooking for someone, or trying to take someone fishing.
Earl had alot of potential. It is sad to see him go at the early age of 54.
Earl is survived by his mother, Dorothy M. Johnson; his older brother, Chesley Kelly and his family; daughters, Jessica R. Johnson (Aaron Johnson), and Jacquelyn K. Johnson; son, Jermyn J. Johnson; grandchild, Kaylyn E. Johnson; many aunts, uncles and cousins.
Earl was preceded in death by his eldest brother, Donald Kelly.
