Kenneth Allan Johnson, 72, of Bloomery, passed away peacefully at his home on Sept. 6, 2022, surrounded by his loving family.
Ken was born on Aug. 12, 1950, in Winchester, Va., to the late K. Glenwood Johnson and Lillian E. Riley Johnson. He was a 1968 graduate of Hampshire High School. He was a proud Army veteran, serving his country in Vietnam with the 716th Military Police Battalion. He retired after 30 years of service with Hope Gas Inc., in Morgantown.
Ken was a lifelong member of the Bloomery Presbyterian Church, where he served as an elder and was actively involved with church outreach programs. If you knew Ken, you knew he never met a stranger. He was a military history buff, a classic car enthusiast and an admirer of antique tractors, and he would happily talk about any of his interests to anyone who would listen. He was an avid gardener who loved being outside, especially to hunt, fish or tend to his chickens. He enjoyed good food, a cold beer and time shared in the company of family and friends. He cherished time vacationing over many years with his family in Cape Hatteras, N.C. He was also a member of the Bloomery Blooms Relay For Life team.
Ken is survived by his wife of 16 years, Eileen M. Johnson; children, Mark C. Johnson and wife Stacey, of Charles Town, and Kendra J. Cramer and husband Keegan, of Martinsburg; stepsons, Christopher G. Spacht and Zachary J. Spacht, both of Morgantown; grandchildren, Karson A. Cramer and wife Kelsie, Macey J. Mason and Norah J. Cramer; great-grandson Greyson; and one aunt, Kitty Hott Swick, of Bloomery.
The family will receive friends at Giffin Funeral Home & Crematory in Capon Bridge, from 10:30 a.m.-noon on Oct. 22, 2022, and a celebration of Ken’s life will be held immediately following with the Rev. David Omps officiating. Afterward, a time of food and fellowship will be held at Bloomery Presbyterian Church. Interment will be held privately, with military rights accorded by the U.S. Army.
In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made in memory of Ken to the Bloomery Presbyterian Church, P.O. Box 27, Bloomery, WV, 26817 or America’s Gold Star Families, 316 3rd St., Kamiah, ID, 83536 https://www.americasgoldstarfamilies.org/donation/.
