Robert John Johansen, 66, was sent to live with our Heavenly Father on Oct. 13, 2012.

Robert was born June 14, 1946, in Austin, Minn. He was the son of Andrew and Maxine (Henderson) Johansen. Robert served in the United States Navy after completing High School and worked many years in boiler operations. He had a knack for keeping his mid-century values in an ever-changing world. A hard-working man who often gave more than he received. He was a husband, brother, father, grandfather and a friend to many. He was fiercely patriotic, and a loyal Minnesota Vikings fan.

Robert is survived by his wife, Sonita Johansen; sister, Gayle Peterson; brother, Ron Johansen; sons and daughters, Mary (Tom) Blohm, Matthew (Stacey) Johansen, Micah (Kate) Johansen, Michael Carlson, Lisa (Andrew) Pergeau and Jeremy (Jennifer) Farnes; 12 grandchildren; many nieces and nephews; and loving companions Molly and Rokko.

Robert is preceded in death by his parents, Andrew and Maxine, and brother Darrel Johansen.

Remembered always, with memories tucked in our hearts, we shall endure. It gives great peace knowing that one day we will be greeted at the gates, by Robert, when we make our own journey home

Private Burial at Fort Logan National Cemetery. Please share your memories of Robert and condolences with his family by signing the guestbook at www.horancares.com.
