Marvin Paul Johnson, 74, of Lincoln, formerly of New Holland, passed away January 21, 2017, at Abraham Lincoln Memorial Hospital surrounded by his loving family.

Marvin was born July 13, 1942, in Lincoln, the son of Franklin Benjamin and Esther (Erdman) Johnson. He married Janet Franz of August 12, 1961, in Lincoln. He was formerly employed at Lehn and Fink, was a long time farmer in the New Holland area, and worked for Stine Seed Company. Marvin was a member of St. John's United Church of Christ, was a past president of the New Holland-Middletown School Board, sat on the Church Council and the Logan County Zoning Board of Appeals, and was a Logan County Farm Bureau member. He enjoyed fishing, camping, vacation, traveling in the car, AJ Foyt racing, and never missed an opportunity to watch the Indianapolis 500. Marvin's greatest joy was his family. His love, laugh, stories, and chocolate treats will be missed by all who knew and loved him.
