Richard Johnson
September 21, 1971 — August 29, 2016
Richard L. “Dickie” Johnson, II, 44, departed this life on the morning of Monday, August 29, 2016.
He was born on September 21, 1971, in Chambersburg, the son of Richard L. and Linda Deck Johnson. Dickie was a 1989 graduate of Chambersburg High School and attended Penn State University, studying Exercise and Sport Science.
Dickie worked along-side his father, owning and operating Johnson Logging for the past twenty-five years. He loved his job because it allowed him to always be outdoors and in the mountains. Dickie just recently had a tattoo sleeve completed, showing a mountain setting under a full moon and lots of trees. It was very apparent how near and dear this was to his life and also how it shaped him as a person.
He wasn’t a big fan of mornings, but you could sometimes find him sitting on the couch watching television, with his St. Bernard, Mose, and he always had that candy dish nearby, because he loved to eat. Dickie had a nice Dodge Challenger and he liked to golf, especially at Piney Apple with Karen and his friends, whom he always enjoyed their company and the company of their children. He will be missed by many.
In addition to his parents, Dickie is survived by his long-time companion, Karen Wickham; his sister, Lori (Brian) Donovan; niece, Nicole Donovan; nephew; Jake Donovan; paternal grandmother, Marjorie Johnson; uncles, George and Donald Deck and Donald Johnson; aunts, Myrtle Kriner, Diane Coldsmith, Shirley Felmlee, and Jo Ann Timmons; many cousins; and many friends. He was preceded in death by his maternal grandparents, Robert and Fannie Deck; his paternal grandfather, Albertus Johnson; and uncle, Sid Deck.
His funeral service will be held at 3:00 p.m., on Saturday, September 3, 2016, at the Fogelsanger-Bricker Funeral Home & Crematorium, Inc., Shippensburg. The Rev. Richard Reese will officiate. Interment will be private. Viewing will be Friday evening from 5:00 p.m. until 8:00 p.m. at the funeral home.
In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the Arbor Day Foundation “Trees In Memory” at www.arborday.org or Saintly Bernard’s Rescue at www.saintlybernards.org.
