Carl E. Johnston
August 6, 1939 - November 8, 2023
Born on August 8, 1939 in Rogers, Arkansas, moved to California as a young man. In 1961 he married his bride, Sonja Rush, and in 1967 had a daughter, Cheryl. Cheryl later married Sean Corral and has made a beautiful life together. Carl has two grandchildren, Elizabeth and Seth, that he absolutely adored and enjoyed so many fun times with. Elizabeth was recently married to her husband Chris, and Carl was there for their special day. Carl suffered many years with dementia and other health related issues, but had a beautiful remainder of his life with his daughter and her family in their home in Bakersfield, Ca. Carl was a very caring and sweet gentleman, who loved reading and music of all kinds. He had a great sense of humor as well, and will truly be missed by everyone.
