Victor Francis Johnson passed away peacefully on January 31, 2022, at age 87 in his home in Juneau, surrounded by loving family.
Victor was born in Muskegon, Michigan, on September 14, 1934, to Harvey and Dorothy Johnson.
He is survived by his wife Barbara and the children he helped raise, Jaime Kelly Zellhuber and her husband Aldon, Alex Kelly and his wife Chelsea; children Steven Johnson, Nikki Johnson (Nyke Soul) and Gina Johnson from his second wife Marcia.
He was preceded in death by his son Victor from his first wife Shirley; and by his five siblings Marion, Harvey, Kirk, Terry and David.
Vick was the proud grandfather of Aaron, Maria and Katelin from his son Vick (and wife Cindy); and Victor and Thor from his son Steven (and wife Melody).
He was beloved Pop Pop to Jaime and Aldon's children, Zander, Athena, Alanna and Maralie, and to Alex and Chelsea's son, James. A great-grandson, Braxton, the child of Zander and his wife Stacy, also blessed the family.
Victor, a Korean War veteran, left school to join the U.S. Navy at the age of 17 and served as a radio operator aboard ship. Afterward, he finished his education and in 1968 moved to Sitka where he was the first and only French teacher at Blatchley Junior High School for 20 years.
He lived life joyfully and enjoyed hunting, fishing, boating, travel, music and dancing. He escorted several groups of his French students on trips to Europe and he took his family to Paris to live for a year while he completed his master's degree at the Sorbonne.
He ran a sport fishing charter in Sitka during summers, and after retiring from teaching he spent 7 years sailing in the warm waters of the Bahamas and Caribbean with Barbara, followed by several years of land cruising in a recreation vehicle before settling in Sequim, Washington. He returned to Alaska in 2019 in order to live out the end of his life in his beloved Alaska close to his Alaskan family.
