Longtime Congress Announcer Steve Johnson Passes

Words will never describe how much we will miss him. He lit up every room with his smile and put others at ease with his gentle demeanor. He was an entrepreneur at heart and lead by example with his unwavering work ethic. His three daughters, Greta, Sarah and Emma were the light of his life.

 

From a very young age he enjoyed showing Quarter Horses and Limousin cattle, serving as a WRFD farm radio host, judging Quarter Horse shows, mentoring junior and youth members in 4-H, raising his daughters in 4-H and FFA, traveling across the country to show Limousin cattle with his daughters, mountain biking, riding his cutting horse and being known as the “Voice of the Congress,” as one of the All American Quarter Horse Congress announcers.

 

He is proceeded in death by his father, Francis Alfred Johnson and his mother, Sylvia Baird Johnson. He is survived by his oldest daughter, Greta Bowman (husband Eric and daughter Faith), his daughter Sarah Anne Johnson (fiancé Coulton West) and his youngest daughter, Emma Lynne Johnson. He is also survived by his fiancé, Elizabeth Holden.
