Steven Krieg Johnson

Born Nov. 19, 1984 in Pendleton, Ore. to Jeffery Scot Johnson and Kathryn Irene White-Johnson-Smith, Steven Krieg Johnson passed away from injuries sustained in a motorcycle accident on Aug. 28, 2015, in Oak Harbor. He was 30 years old.

He leaves behind his fianceé, Crystal Saveall; their 18-month-old daughter, Rebel Johnson; and his son, Adam; his mother and father, Kathy Smith and Jeff Johnson; as well as his step-parents Judy Pierce-Johnson and Steve Smith; his older brother, Chris Johnson of Abilene, Texas; and older sister, Tara Johnson of Oak Harbor.

He was a groundskeeper at Maple Leaf Cemetery. Steven loved fishing and spending time with his family. He grew up in Butte, Mont., where his love for fishing developed on Georgetown Lake outside of Anaconda, Mont. and followed him throughout his life. As a young avid angler you could catch him on the Columbia River sturgeon fishing, out-fishing anyone with him. As a young teen he moved to Oak Harbor and instantly fell in love with the fishing the island had to offer. You could catch him at one of his many spots along the shores of Whidbey Island. He also enjoyed spending time with his niece and nephews, Alyssa, Justin and Cody, as well his baby girl, Rebel. He dedicated his entire life to his family, especially to his fianceé, their daughter and anyone else he considered family.

He was a diehard fan of Seattle sports, especially the Seahawks and Mariners. He enjoyed watching the Seahawks win Super Bowl XLVIII as well as watching the Mariners compete for the AL West Pennant annually. He loved watching the games with friends and family and tormenting any opposing fans. He always held a competitive nature in life that transferred over to all aspects of his life.

He touched many lives in his young life that many will never forget. He was always there for those in need and his selflessness will be passed on through those who knew him. He was always dedicated and giving and enjoyed his job at the cemetery where he worked.

Memorial services will be held at 11 a.m. Sept. 12, at the Maple Leaf Cemetery, followed by a reception at VFW Post 7392 in Oak Harbor. Family and friends are encouraged to share memories and condolences at www.whidbeymemorial.com
