On the evening of Sunday July 16th, 2023 Terry Dennis Johnson passed away surrounded by loved ones at De Greeff Hospice House in St Louis. Terry had been battling a series of illnesses, and was 76 at the time of his passing.
Terry was born January 13th, 1947 to George and Rosemary Johnson in St. Louis. Terry’s life was full of shenanigans, stories and laughter. Terry met the love of his life- Deb (Gosik) Johnson, when she walked into his shop – Johnsons Service on Chippewa- to get an oil change. They married in 1985 and built a wonderful life together. They had several homes on the Lake of the Ozark’s throughout their life together and one of his favorite things was to ride his jet ski (always the fastest model) in the mornings by himself, or to hear the giggle of his bride when he went full throttle with her behind him later in the day. Those who knew Terry, and were lucky enough to call him a friend, were never left without a story. He could tell stories like no one else- and left no detail out- especially if it would make you laugh.
Terry was preceded in Death by his parents, his sister Kathleen Johnson Dutson, and niece Connie Collett. He is survived by his loving wife of 35 years Deb Gosik Johnson, His nephews Patrick (Geae) Dutson Jr and Chris (Melissa) Nichols, Niece Dianna (Larry) Payne, 11 great nieces and nephews, and 7 great great nieces and nephews.

A good friend who we always enjoyed being around. Had some great times with Terry and Debbie at the lake.
