Kim Oscar Johnson, 92, of Ammon, Idaho, passed away at home surrounded by his family on Dec. 15, 2020. He was born Sept. 1, 1928, in Idaho Falls to Oscar Wilhelm Johnson and Phoebe Lucina (Weaver) Johnson. He was the seventh of 12 children and grew up working on family farms where he was instilled with a strong work ethic, love of country, devotion to family, and faith in his Savior. After graduating from Idaho Falls High School, he served as a missionary for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Texas and Louisiana. During those two years, he was engaged to his high school sweetheart, Sharyn June Olson. At one point, Sharyn wrote Kim a Dear John letter to call off their engagement. But Kim wrote back such a beautiful love letter that she decided to wait. They were sealed in the Idaho Falls Temple on Jan. 3, 1951. Kim attended Ricks College in Rexburg, Idaho, before transferring to Utah State University in Logan, Utah, and earned both a B.S. and M.S. in Bacteriology. A
