At 3 yrs old Austin rode the train from Oklahoma to Arizona with his mother and younger brother Thomas to meet up with his father, and here they planted roots.
Austin loved roping, prospecting and trapping. He was well read on Native American culture, even taking over a tour he was on when the guide was misinformed. I am sure this was much appreciated.
Austin spent his life working Construction and as a farrier, but enjoyed the time he spent Cowboying throughout Arizona in his youth most of all.
Hopefully there are a few good ropings in heaven.
Austin is survived by Daughter, Jennifer Segura (Christian); Son, Matthew Johnson (Sharon); Sister, Judy Burnside; step children, Sherri Camp, Sheila Boelts, and John Donley and ex Wife Laurel Sands; Grandchildren, Teasa Porter and Spencer Johnson, Craig Wright, Sage and Blair Segura; two great grand children and nieces and nephews.
Preceded in death by Mother and Father Winfred and Lucy Johnson; Brother, Thomas (Beverly) Johnson; Wives, Sandra Johnson and Donna Johnson.
There will be no services per his request.
