Dallin Johnson Memorial for The Epilepsy Foundation

Dallin Spencer Johnson age 25, passed away on January 20, 2025.

Dallin thoroughly enjoyed the outdoors, especially if it meant speeding down a snowy slope, jumping off the tallest diving board, climbing any mountain or rock (leaving everyone far behind), racing through the water in a boat or riding his “flashy”motorcycle. He also loved spending time with his family, laughing and telling jokes. He wasn’t shy about telling others how much he loves his sisters, nieces and nephews. He had a love of building and collecting legos, science, and technology. His adventurous spirit and love of nature (which calmed his brain) gave him an untameable desire to live in Saint George, Utah. With the support of his family, he was able to build an independent, joyful, fulfilling life there. He was proud of this accomplishment.

In 2019, Dallin started experiencing seizures. To witness the effect of them, and what he was going through, had a deep effect on us. We were worried and constantly alert. There were many hurdles to finding the right treatment.

It was Dallin that helped us gain confidence, because he didn’t let the seizures or anything else hold him back. He had a fierce determination to live the life he wanted, always trying to do his best, and chasing his dreams. He taught us great lessons. Through it all, he was cheerful and wondered why everyone else was so worried.

Even after his passing, we experience moments of deep gratitude and peace knowing that he lived as the Savior taught to “Be of good cheer”. Even now, we still feel joy, goodness and laughter because of the way he lived.

Dallin was brave and spoke openly about how he experienced life and what he wanted. Before his passing, he regularly voiced to his family his wishes to donate his brain to science to further epilepsy research.

In honor of him, and according to his deep desire to contribute to epilepsy research, we created this fund to donate to The Epilepsy Foundation. You can also donate directly to The Epilepsy Foundation at give.epilepsy.com

To all of those who choose to donate, we thank you with all of our hearts for helping Dallin to fulfill his passionate desire in assisting further epilepsy research.

A celebration of Dallin’s life will be held Wednesday, January 29th, 2025 from 6 pm to 8 pm at the Highland Park Ward building on 11543 S. Keystone Dr., South Jordan, UT 84095.
