Bruce Johnson
November 4, 1955 — October 17, 2018

Burial will follow in New Home Cemetery, Nash, Oklahoma. The family will receive friends at Ladusau-Evans Funeral Home on Friday, October 19th from 7:00 to 9:00 pm.
Bruce was born November 4, 1955 in Enid to Floren and Marie (Somers) Johnson and passed away Wednesday, October 17, 2018 at his home in Enid.
He attended Kremlin Public Schools graduating in 1974. He married his high school sweetheart Lyndie Shriver on February 22, 1975 and they made their home in Enid. They had three children, Carrie, Jarod, and Ashley. He served the community as a firefighter for 29 years, retiring on June 28, 2012 with the rank of Lieutenant. Before, during, and after retirement, he worked numerous part-time jobs; roofing, welding, mowing, spraying yards, and oilfield.
Bruce had a gift of selflessness, and servant like spirit, so that many others called him ''Dad'', ''Pappy'' and ''Pap Pap''. He had a giving heart and always helped those in need. He enjoyed camping, fishing, hunting, and spending time with his family.
He is preceded in death by his father, Floren Johnson; his wife Lyndie Johnson; brother, Aaron Johnson; father and mother in law, Ocie and Bess Shriver. Bruce is survived by three children, Carrie Russell and husband John, of Enid; Jarod Johnson and wife Melissa, of Clarksville, Arkansas; Ashley Nichols and husband Michael of Enid; his mother, Marie Johnson of Okmulgee; seven grandchildren, Josiah Russell, Bella Johnson, Isaiah Russell, Bowen Johnson, Ocee Wren Nichols, Nora Johnson, and one on the way.
