James A. Johnson

August 16, 1945 — September 28, 2023

James A. "Jim" Johnson, age 78, of Toledo, passed away peacefully Thursday, September 28, 2023 at Ebeid Hospice Residence. He was born on August 16, 1945 to James W. and Belle (Whittle) Johnson in Atlanta, Georgia. Jim was a 1963 graduate of Waite High School. He proudly served in the U.S. Air Force during the Vietnam War. He was employed with Tools Unlimited for 45 years in sales. This was not only a job to Jim, his customers and co-workers became like family to him, something he cherished. Jim was an avid fan of The Ohio State Buckeyes, Cleveland Browns and Indians. He enjoyed bowling even having a 300 game once. Jim loved spending time on the beach, especially Myrtle Beach with his family. His greatest passion was his family, the legacy he passed on with his four sons. Nothing made Jim prouder than to see his sons' succeed, be married and start families. His smile, spirit and caring nature will truly be missed by all who knew and loved him.

Left to cherish Jim's memory are his loving sons, Chad (Marcia) Johnson, Eric (Melissa) Johnson, Jimmy (Ashleigh) Johnson, and Adam (Freya) Johnson; grandchildren, Katie (Matthew), Allie (Shane), Casie, Britney, Alyssa, Derrick (Rachael), Cameron, Kate, Peyton, Jillian, and Emme; great-grandson, Maverick; nieces, Robin (Dan) Stone and Kelli (Russ) Ewing; nephew, Jason (Jennifer) Kollarik; and many dear friends. In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his loving wife of 37 years, Debra Johnson; and sister, Patricia Kollarik.
