Harland Raymond Johnson was born on April 16, 1937, at his family’s home in Truman, MN, the son of Raymond and Matilda (Schultz) Johnson. Harland attended school in Truman and graduated from Truman High School with the class of 1955.
On June 25, 1960, Harland was united in marriage to Delores Elaine Prom in St. Peter, MN. Together the couple would make their home in Fairmont and were blessed with four children, Diane, Lynn, Anita and Dale. After celebrating over 51 years of marriage, Delores passed away in 2012. Harland was blessed to find love again when he met and married Shirley Crawley at Lincoln Park on October 1, 2016.
Harland worked for many years as the maintenance supervisor for the Fairmont Power Plant. He was a proud member of the Fairmont Fire Department serving for 20 years before his retirement. Harland was also a member of the St. John Vianney Catholic Church in Fairmont and was a member of the Knights of Columbus.
In his spare time, Harland enjoyed spending time outdoors hunting and looked forward to his fishing trips to Canada. Harland loved to travel, making many fond memories throughout the years with trips to Alaska, Germany and Hawaii. He enjoyed soaking up the sun in the winter months in Arizona but looked forward to the change of seasons and his return to see family and friends in Minnesota. Harland was musically gifted and loved to sit down and play the accordion and keyboard. He loved to tinker and spent countless hours working on and refurbishing old tractors. Harland was never one to turn down a hand of cards but his competitive nature came out in his dislike of losing!
