Neubert C. Johnson

Neubert C. Johnson, 85, of Marysville, Ohio, peacefully passed away on September 14, 2023. He was a quiet and kind gentleman with strong values and principles in both business and family life. He was the beloved husband of Judy, whom he married on July 29, 1989, loving father of four children with Barbara - Rebecca Wigal, Sara Miller, Jeff Johnson, and Amy Hawley, grandfather of nine and great-grandfather of five.

He was the son of the late Clarence and Clara Johnson of Woodbine, Iowa. Brother to Oscar (deceased) Eleanor (deceased) and Forrest.

Neubert leaves behind many nieces, nephews, cousins, extended family and close friends.

During his youth, he played snooker, tried to master the coronet, was the drum major of the Woodbine Tiger Band and he knew how to disconnect an odometer to sneak a trip to Omaha.

Right after high school, Neubert started his career at Union Pacific railroad as a Data Entry Operator for rail cars. With an expanding family, he changed careers and became a Calibration Technician for the Atlas Missiles in New York. His next career change took him to Western Electric in Omaha in 1964, working at a repair bench. After that, he accepted a temporary assignment as an Engineering Assistant in Colorado. Neubert found his forever work home at Lucent Technologies Training Center in Dublin, Oh. He traveled internationally as a Product Training Instructor until he retired in 1997.

After retiring, Neubert designed and built his dream home in Burkesville, KY on the Cumberland River where he spent years enjoying his many hobbies known as Neubertisms. They included designing, and building houses, upcycling furniture, building RC planes, muscle cars, plant propagation, tractor pulls, model rockets, Suduko, puzzles, photography, and cooking. He was a life, long learner. Neubert was the literal poster child for someone who didn’t need a formal degree to succeed. He was an engineer, botanist, project manager, builder, mechanic, pyrotechnician, welder, architect, electrician, and woodworker.

Neubert’s best qualities were his ability to talk to people, meet them where they are and provide a helping hand. He modeled honesty, empathy, compassion, hard work, self-promotion, and independence. Neubert will be sorely missed by those who love him.
