Obituary
Clark Allan Johnson, 67 left to be with our Heavenly Father November 21st, 2021. He was born January 20th 1954 in Canton, Ohio to Don and Mary Johnson.
Clark was a true Arizonan for the next 60 plus years, spending most of that time in the West Valley. During his early years he enjoyed playing football, motocross, hunting and outdoor/recreation. He graduated from Maryvale High School in 1972 and began a 20 plus year career in the aerospace machinery field. Clark married the love of his life and was a dedicated loving father of two by the early 1980’s.
His passion for hunting and fishing the great outdoors in a Ford Truck never ceased. Papa’s love for hunting deer, elk and taking the backroads whenever possible made adventures for all. While Clark was known as “Diamond Jim” for the way he adventured, his family called him “Mr. Arizona” for his vast knowledge of it all. Clark is additionally remembered for keeping an eye out to help those in need of council, advice, sports or just a game of Jeopardy!
Clark is survived by his Wife Kris and son Clifford Johnson, grandchildren Annie, Caden and Caylee Johnson. He was preceded in death by his Loving parents Don and Mary Johnson, sister Susan, and Daughter Taylor.
There will be a celebration of life ceremony at Thompson Funeral Chapel on Friday, January 21st, 2022 from 1pm-4pm.

Clark and I did a lot of things together in our late teens early 20’s. We had some unbelievable times and did some unbelievable travels and were able to stay alive during those times. An amazing memory he will be missed. See you upstairs my friend.

Clark and I went to grade school and high school together. His Dad was our mailman and his older sister Susan dated my brother when they were in high school. Clark was always happy but drove me nuts in 5th grade when everyday he asked me to go steady with him! He was always a nice guy and it was fun reconnecting on Facebook and sharing old Maryvale stories. Prayers for all who loved him.
