Services for Michael Johnsen, 28, formerly of Traer who died Thursday at Cheyenne, Wyo., were held Monday at the United CHurch of Christ in Reinbeck at 1:30 p.m. with the Rev. David Williams conducting the services. Burial was in the Reinbeck cemetery.
Mr. Johnsen died as the result of injuries April 14 in the crash of a semi-triler truck he was driving near Cheyenne. At the time he and Gordon Stavely were employed by England Brothers of Salt Lake City, Utah, and were just outside Cheyenne with Stavely in the sleeper of the cab. Stavely, son of Eva Stavely of Traer, remains hospitalized as the result of the accident.
Born Aug. 29, 1941, the deceased was the son of Mr. and Mrs. Victor Johnsen, who lived in Buckingham from 1946 to 1961 when they moved to Ringsted. He was graduated from North Tama County Community high school in 1959 and worked for Vokoun Motor Co. at Traer after his graduation. Johnsen served two years in the Army, then returned to again work for Vokoun, and for a time was his top auto mechanic. Johnsen later worked for a well drilling firm, and shortly before he went to Wyoming as a truck driver, he worked here for Murray Whannel.
Survivors include his parents of Ringsted; three sisters, Cindy and Connie at home, and Mrs. Terry Fink of Buckingham.
Pallbearers were Gary D. Adamek, Donald Farland, James Powell, Ronald C. Childs, Dale Richardson and Roy E. Fuller. Mrs. Emil Nissen provided music. In charge of flowers were Mr. and Mrs. Donald Vokoun and Mr. and Mrs. Darrell Nessler. Ushers were LeRoy Wood, Ernest J. Pusteoska, Ralph Shinn and Larry W. Nation.
