Born on February 7, 1967, in Tucson, Arizona, Michael was the beloved son of Kennith and Linda Johnson. He was a father, a grandfather, a dog lover, and a true Texas football fan through and through.

Married to his Beloved Wife, Michelle, for 26 years, their history and the family they built together remain something important — and always will.

He is survived by his children, Keegan Johnson (wife, Megan), Halen Borg (wife, Jade), Braden Borg (wife, Klynn), and Annelise Borg (wife, Haley); and his treasured grandchildren, Sunny Johnson, Colton Borg, Gunner Borg, Eastynn Borg, and Braelynn Borg. He is also survived by his loyal dogs, Charlie and Walker, who rarely left his side.

Michael had a sharp sense of humor and a big heart. He enjoyed drinking Coke while watching football, especially the University of Texas Longhorns and the Dallas Cowboys, and never missed a chance to cheer on his teams with passion. Whether he was playing with his dogs or spending time with family, Michael always found joy in the little things.

He will be remembered for his quick wit, his love for his family, and the way he could make anyone laugh—even on the hardest days.

Serving as pallbearers will be Keegan Johnson, Braden Borg, Halen Borg, and Annelise Borg. Honorary pallbearer will be Kennith Johnson.
