Evan Alec Alexander Johnson

b. December 18, 1974

d. December 23, 2014, age 40

Alec Johnson, an astrophysicist and mathematician by profession and a

dedicated servant of the poor and needy by vocation, passed into

eternal life December 23, 2014, five days after his 40th birthday.

Alec is survived by his father, Daniel L Johnson; his mother, Isabelle

K. Johnson; his brother, Michael K. Johnson, wife Kim Johnson and

their children Eleanor, Amanda, and Luke; his sister, Marian L.E.

Keillor and her children Analise, Aaron, Miriam and Hanno.

Alec graduated from Menomonie High school in 1992, and received his

PhD in Applied Mathematics from the University of Wisconsin, Madison,

in 2011. He was currently working at the Catholic University of

Leuven, Belgium on computer modeling to predict the timing and

strength of the effect of solar flares on Northern Lights, the power

grid, computers, and satellites.

From the time he could read, he pursued God with his whole heart and

mind. He crossed ecumenical boundaries in fellowship in the US,

Africa, and Europe. He understood that we each come to God in our own

way, but not on our own terms. He sponsored primary students in China,

and primary, secondary, and university students in Africa. He worked

with Ugandan farmers on sustainable farming in the Erussi Farmers

Association.

To remember Alec in his work, please make out a

check payable to Isabelle Johnson, with a memo of "Charitable Trust

for Alec Johnson", and send it to Dr. Daniel Johnson, Mayo Clinic Health
