Thomas Corydon Johnson

Thomas C. Johnson, age 81, went to be with his Lord Sunday, December 8, 2024. He was preceded in death by his beloved wife, Lanette Johnson; and his siblings Walter Johnson and Ardith Krantz. Tom will be lovingly remembered by his children Elizabeth and Scott Greene, Mike and Anne Johnson, Susan and Doug Tuttle, Paul Johnson; grandchildren Corydon and Alexa Tuttle, Ella Tuttle, Coleton Johnson, Tyler Johnson, Raleigh Tuttle; siblings Karen Gernaat, Jerry and MaryLee Johnson, Scott and Jean Johnson, Gerry and Linda Radmacher; and people he considered siblings: Dave and Rosemary Wenner, Gerry Williams and Don VanKley.

Tom was an owner of Johnson Carpet in Grandville; he began his career as a young man installing carpet and doing various odd jobs around the shop. He was a quietly generous man who truly lived by the maxim, “You can’t out-give God.” He was hardworking and loyal. Tom had high expectations, but led graciously. He loved spending time with his family - especially football watching parties with his grandkids. Tom was forward-thinking, working with computers very early on, teaching his kids the basics of programming. Somewhere warm near the ocean was his favorite place to be.

Visitation will be held from 6-8 p.m. Thursday, December 12, at Cook Memorial Chapel, 4235 Prairie St. SW, Grandville, Michigan (East Building). The memorial service will be held 11 a.m. Friday, December 13, at Grand Rapids First – Prayer Chapel, 2100 44th St. SW, Wyoming, Michigan (Entry M near the roundabout on the southwest side of the building.) Pastor Sam Rijfkogel will officiate.

In honor of Tom, contributions may be made to West Michigan Adult and Teen Challenge. The family welcomes memories and messages at www.cookcaresgrandville.com in their guestbook online.
