Clarendon Lee Johnson Obituary
We are sad to announce that on May 3, 2026 we had to say goodbye to Clarendon Lee Johnson in Scottsdale, Arizona. You can send your sympathy in the guestbook provided and share it with the family.
As Clarendon departs from this earthly realm, his essence lingers — a whisper on the wind, a ripple on the water — a testament to the enduring power of love to transcend the boundaries of life and death. Though Clarendon may no longer walk beside us, his spirit lives on in the memories and the legacy Clarendon leaves behind.
He was predeceased by: his parents, Clarence Johnson and Harriette Johnson; and his brother Erle Johnson. He is survived by: his wife Barbara Ann Cross; his sons, Craig Johnson of Scottsdale, AZ and Eric Johnson (Valerie) of Sewickley, PA; and his grandsons, Kenny (Olivia) and Drew Johnson.
