Elwin R. Johnson

January 7, 1953 — November 17, 2025

Elwin R. Johnson, a cherished soul who walked the earth with quiet dignity and a heart full of kindness, passed away on November 17, 2025, at the age of 72. Born in the vibrant city of Dallas on January 7, 1953, he carried the essence of that spirited place with him throughout his life, leaving an indelible mark on all who had the pleasure to know him.

Elwin was a man of remarkable depth, often drawing laughter and companionship from his close circle, yet he maintained a private nature that cloaked much of his inner world. His fun-loving spirit was intertwined with a distinctly dry sense of humor that could brighten even the gloomiest of days. Those who shared in his life remember him not merely for his jokes but for the warmth he exuded, a gentle reminder of the goodness that exists in people.

A passionate music lover, Elwin found solace and joy in melodies that resonated with his soul. His appreciation for music was rivaled only by his fervor for investing—a venture he approached with a keen mind and strategic insight. While not loud in his passions, his enthusiasm for financial growth reflected his pragmatic approach to life; always looking towards the future with a thoughtful gaze.

Elwin was also an avid supporter of his favorite team—the Dallas Cowboys. Many a Sunday, he could be found clad in blue and silver, rooting for his team with unyielding loyalty. His love for football transcended mere fandom; it became a lens through which he fostered camaraderie with friends and family, deeply bonding over thrilling games and nail-biting moments.

Though Elwin’s presence may now be absent from our lives, the legacy of his kindness and humor will echo in the hearts of all who knew him. He may have preferred the quieter corners of existence, but his impact was monumental, radiating love and laughter that will forever be remembered.

As we pause to reflect on the life of Elwin R. Johnson, we celebrate a man who lived with purpose and joy. His journey may have concluded, but the memories he created will remain timeless—much like the music he cherished and the games he loved to watch.
