Murray Leighton Johnson of Kincardine died peacefully at home, Wednesday, Sept. 8, 2021, in his 81st year. He leaves to mourn his wife of 58 years, Jean (née Geddes); and sons, Mark (Sheri) of Olds, Alberta, and Jeff (Jackie) of Georgetown, Ontario. Loving grandfather of four granddaughters, Abbey, Halley, Maggey and Faith.

He will be missed by his many nieces, nephews, cousins and friends. Predeceased by his parents, Willard and Frances (née Brown) Johnson; brother, Donald; and sister, Anne. Murray farmed most of his life on the Northline in Kincardine Township. He ran a dairy operation for 20 years and later raised registered Texas Longhorn cattle. He was always available to lend a helping hand and liked nothing better than sitting down and reminiscing. According to his wishes, cremation has taken place, and a private family memorial will be held at a later date. Memorial donations to the Kincardine and Community Health Care Foundation or a charity of your choice, would be appreciated as expressions of sympathy, and can be arranged on-line or by contacting the Davey-Linklater Funeral Home, Kincardine; www.daveylinklaterfuneralhome.com/.
