Pat Edward Johnson

Wow, I'm going to miss Pat. I've never met a man who loved his wife more. Now they're together with the Lord. I'll miss him and Gertie. Dan Jacobs, Caplen Shores, Texas.

My sincere sympathies to all who loved Pat but especially to Tracey and Karen who I had the privilege to have as students. Pat was indeed special and when I returned to NHS following the birth of my first son Jason, I was given his math classes since he'd just been named Head Coach and Athletic Director and no longer taught classes. Pat had already completed the entire text books by January and I was left to "improvise" for the spring semester. What a challenge--and I was not a math major nor so inclined. When I would mention it to him, he was jovial and encouraging which set the tone for our relationship from 1964 to current times. Through trials and disappointments he maintained a sense of humor and a unique perspective on life. It's hard to imagine he's no longer with us but it's also comforting to know he rests with his beloved Gertie and with Jesus.

Karen,

I am sorry I missed the service today. Please know I am keeping you and your family in my prayers. Your dad truly was a man to be admired and who was loved by many. He was a pillar in our community...God Bless, Kay and Bruce

We were Pat's neighbors for many years and we will miss him. Pat and Gertie will be remembered very fondly. They were very good neighbors.

First met coach at C.O.Wilson Jr.High knew him through High School
and beyond. He was always a good friend and teacher. He will be missed by all that knew him. Our prayers are with the family.

I never knew a more loving and committed couple than Pat and Gertie Johnson. They were a wonderful example to the world of the perfect couple. For as far back as I can remember (the little green home on Avenue E, full of kids and life) I loved them both like family. I know you are surely peaceful now Pat - back with your Gertie!. My sincerely sympathy and thoughts are with your children now, Tracey, Karen, Jeffrey & Patrick. Lori Dorr Selby

Our sincere condolences to the Johnson family. Coach Johnson was a wonderful caring teacher and a beautiful person. My memories are years old but remain forever in my thoughts and heart. May the prayers offered sustain and comfort you during this difficult time.
Rest in the loving arms of your Lord.

With special love,
Becky and Haden Bourg

Johnny and Karen, my thoughts are with you during this most emotional and difficult time. Karen you are blessed with such fond and loving memories of both your parents and I hope you will find peace in knowing they are together again. Julie and Ireland, I know you will miss your Grandpa and Big Papa, he was such an important person in your life. If there is anything I can do, just let me know. Joe and I love you all.

Our thoughts are with all the family at this hour.

I shall miss those morning rides to Dennys Noon rides to Holliers in Sulphur Laughing and telling tales of coaching in the golden years with Coach Neal Morgan. Thursday night at Legion hall.
May GOD support your family in this time of saddiness.
