Obituary Excerpt [Names of Living Survivors Omitted], morningsun.net:
Dr. Daniel Johnson passed away peacefully on March 24, 2015, at the University Hospital in Columbia, Missouri, after emergency heart surgery. He was born in Pittsburg, Kansas, to a mother and father who were both educators and actively engaged in their children's lives. Dan was the youngest of three children, often fondly referring to his sister and brother as his "elder siblings" and himself as "The Most Youthful Member of the Group."
Dan exhibited an inquisitive mind and an intense interest in learning at a very young age. In kindergarten, he tried to negotiate going to school part time because the teacher required students to take naps and "naps are a complete waste of time." He researched and constructed his own refracting telescope while in high school. In his senior year in high school, Dan learned about the programming of the school's bell system. He and his fellow conspirators then reprogrammed the bell system on the last day of school. As you might imagine, no small amount of confusion resulted, and according to Dan the administration never determined the perpetrators.
Until going off to college, Dan spent part of nearly every summer with his family at the Rocky Mountain Biological Laboratory at Gothic (near Crested Butte), Colorado. He had an enduring love of the mountains and enjoyed hiking and camping.
He enjoyed the history and physics of firearms, particularly the weapons used in World War II, where his father was a combat infantryman in Europe.
He loved dogs, and always had one or two dogs he had rescued from a local humane society.
Dan was also an amateur astronomer. He owned a small plot of land with dark sky in the desert of New Mexico. There, he had an observatory he visited a couple times each year. It was his goal to one day configure the New Mexico telescope so he could control its function remotely from his laptop in Evansville.
Most of all Dan enjoyed spending time with his family. He loved to be with his children; whether it was traveling to the mountains of Colorado or to the backyard to play soccer. He was a wonderful father.
Dan studied at Cornell College in Mt. Vernon, Iowa; earning a B.S. with a triple major in Mathematics, Astronomy and Physics, while being close to another major in English. He continued his education at Columbia University in New York City earning a M.S. in Atmospheric Physics. He spent the next few years teaching English in Cali, Columbia, South America, and taking courses and teaching English composition at Kansas State University before graduating with his M.D. from the University of Kansas in 1990.
Dan completed his Residency in Neurology in Galveston, TX and began his practice in neurology in Cheyenne, Wyoming. He moved to Evansville in 2000. Dan was on staff as a Neurology Hospitalist at Deaconess Hospital. Though he worked long hours, he loved being a physician. He was liked and respected as a doctor and treated those he worked with - patients and colleagues alike - with similar respect and caring.
Dan was preceded in death by his parents, Dr. John C. Jr. and Dorothy Johnson. Dan is survived by a son and daughter, a sister and her husband, a brother and his wife, nieces and nephews, and his former wife.
There will be a memorial service to remember the life of Dr. Daniel Johnson on Saturday, April 4, 2015, at 3:00 p.m. at Browning Funeral Home, 738 Diamond Avenue, Evansville, IN 47711. Visitation is from noon until service time on the same day.
In lieu of flowers, the family asks that memorial donations be made to the Johnson Scholarship Fund of the Rocky Mountain Biological Laboratory, P.O. Box 519, Crested Butte, CO 81224, www.rmbl.org.
