Kit Carrol Johnson, the son Carrol and Nadine (Sederburg) Johnson was born October 18, 1943 at Omaha, Nebraska. He passed away on Thursday, September 10, 2020 at the Montgomery County Memorial Hospital, Red Oak, Iowa, surrounded by family. He fought a valiant fight against various health issues for seven years.

Kit was raised in rural Stanton and graduated from Stanton High School in 1961. As a young boy, Kit began a lifelong love of farming and ranching. He enjoyed being outside, working the land and raising livestock. Kit was united in marriage to Carolyn A. Reints on August 18, 1974 at Mamrelund Lutheran Church. They made their home on a farm outside of Stanton. Together they enjoyed boating, water skiing for over 30 years, snow skiing, horseback riding to check cattle, camping and going on fishing trips to north central Manitoba, Canada and Arkansas. He loved rodeos and all things western. Kit was a hard worker, but always willing to help a person in need. He loved his two sons, Keegan and Cody, and especially enjoyed playing with his grandchildren. He was a man of faith and attended Grace Baptist Church in Red Oak.

Kit was preceded in death by his parents; infant sister, Teresa; and brother-in-law, John Buster.

Kit is survived by his wife, Carolyn Johnson of Stanton, IA; sons: Keegan Johnson and companion Merri Gray Eagle of Stanton, IA and Cody (Koreen) Johnson of Stanton, IA; 6 grandchildren: Jack, Alea, Eleanor, Zeke, Zoey and Zeppelin; sisters: Bonnie (Clifford) Pershin of Stanton, IA and Ingrid Buster of Morning Sun, IA; and sister-in-law, Joan (Jon) Jutting of Eldridge, IA; nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends.
