Grant Taylor Johnson, 9 years old of Ashland, NE, entered into rest on Saturday, April 19, 2014 in Ashland, Nebraska.  He was born September 1, 2004 in Omaha, Nebraska to Chad and Kim (Williamson) Johnson.

As a 3rd grader at Ashland-Greenwood Elementary, Grant loved life.  Even at a very young age he had a unique passion for hard work.  When he wasn’t helping mom or dad on a project, he would seek out neighbors, family or friends in need of his capable little hands.  He preferred to stay active at all times, so if he felt the pace slow down, you could always count on him for encouragement:  “come on guys, let’s get some ‘motibation’ “…

Grant was a loving little boy with a huge heart, and he will be missed dearly by his many family members and friends. 

He is survived by parents, Chad and Kim Johnson; brothers, Nikotah Johnson and Wyatt Johnson; sister, Callie Johnson; grandparents, Randy and Carol Johnson of Ashland, Judy and Dwight Belville of Lincoln, Carl and Patty Williamson of Butte, NE; many other family members and friends.

Preceded in death by cousins, Rypland Senser, Jacy Kaup, Scott Dawson, and Chad Poppe.

Pastor Kyle Ballard will be officiating.

    Ron and I were so saddened to hear about Grants’ death. His grandmother, Judy and my sister and I are close friends. Since Grant was a baby, we heard about what a wonderful grandson he was. His antics kept us laughing and we always were waiting to hear what Grant had done next. He will be greatly missed we know and we pray for comfort and peace from our Lord for the whole family.

    Dear Johnson Family: I am a substitute teacher with Ashland/Greenwood. I always enjoyed having Grant in class during the days I was filling in for an instructor. He always had a smile on his face, a wonderful sense-of-humor and a passion to learn. God Bless your family at this most difficult time. ~Lori Schenk

    Chad, Kim, Niko, Wyatt, Callie and all–
    I have so many thoughts and so few words. Know that you are in our family’s thoughts during this unfathomably painful time. Thank you for sharing your special, funny, curious little man with us–his little smile could brighten the darkest day and I feel so fortunate to have been given the chance to know and love him. I can only imagine that he has endless tools and building materials and he is a busy, busy boy right now! Rest in peace, G-man.
    Love, Kelly and Family
