It is with profound sadness and broken hearts that we share the sudden passing of Jaren Johnson on May 12, 2026. Jaren was a devoted husband, loving father and grandfather, beloved son, brother, uncle, and loyal friend. His larger-than-life personality, generous heart and love for life left a lasting impact on everyone who knew Jaren. Jaren leaves behind his loving wife, Shannon Carter-Johnson; children, Evie Johnson, Maggie Olson, and August Whiteside; grandson, Archer; parents, Jim and Char Johnson; sister, Adria Crego and family; and countless relatives and friends who are devastated by this unimaginable loss. As Shannon faces the painful road ahead, we are coming together to help ease the financial burden and provide stability during this incredibly difficult time. Any donation, prayer, or share is deeply appreciated and will directly support Shannon and the family as they navigate life without Jaren. Thank you for helping us honor a man who meant so much to so many. Forever loved. Forever missed. Gone far too soon. A celebration of life will be held at a later date.
