Leonard A. "Lenbone" Johnson

Leonard Johnson was born on March 17, 1961 to Orlin and Charlotte Johnson in Omaha Nebraska. Leonard grew up with his 4 siblings Marsha, Duane, Marilyn and Craig. He graduated from Burke High School in 1979. The following year he met Gloria while they were both out with their best friends. Leonard and Gloria got married in 1986 and welcomed their first daughter Jessica in 1987. After 5 years of being a family of three they welcomed their youngest daughter Desiree in 1992. 

Throughout his life he had many interests. His love for the Kansas City Chiefs started when he got to tour the brand new stadium at 11 years old. He loved the Nebraska Huskers (in their prime). He enjoyed NASCAR races, car shows, going to his grandchildren’s sporting events, singing and dancing, relaxing at the pool, game nights and mowing his lawn. He was a member of Sunny Slope pool for many years. He also became a member of the Mustang Club after he and Gloria purchased their dream car in 2017. 

Leonard’s passions led him to do various jobs. He worked at a few gas stations where he formed many close friendships. He worked concert security for many years where he was able to meet some really awesome artists and had the pleasure of driving some around. His final job was working for the bus company where he drove for a few different school districts over the last 20 years. He made many friends along the way; young and old. He had the biggest spirit surrounding him that captured the hearts of many. 

Leonard passed away peacefully surrounded by family on July 18, 2025. 

Leonard was survived by his wife Gloria, daughters Jessica and Desiree, grandchildren Ayden, Summer, Josie and Rylan, siblings Duane, Marilyn and Craig, Aunt Ruth Ann, cousins, nieces and nephews. As well as many friends.
