James Victor Johnson
March 29, 1947 — June 7, 2011
James V. (Jim) Johnson, 64, a Medical Technician and Navy Veteran, passed away Tuesday at the Marias Medical Center due to cancer. Graveside services and military honors, for family & friends will be 2:00 pm Monday (June 13th) at the Mountain View Cemetery. A celebration of life will follow at the Alibi Lounge. Whitted Funeral Chapel is in charge of arrangements.
Survivors include his wife of 34 years, Beverly of Shelby; son, Shane (Kim) Johnson and two grandchildren, Andrew James and Bailey Ann, all of Shelby.
Jim is preceded in death by his parents, Victor & Ruth Johnson, and sister, Diane Endresse.
He was born March 29, 1947 at Dickenson, ND to Victor & Ruth (Law) Johnson. He grew up in Butte where he graduated from high school in 1965 and then attended college at MSU Bozeman. In February of 1967 he entered the US Navy serving 4 years which included a tour in Viet Nam as a corpsman stationed with the US Marians Lima Company 3-4. He was discharged in April of 1971.
While in the Navy in southern California, he received his medical technology training and came to work at the Toole County Hospital, now the Marias Medical Center, in 1971. He spent 38 years (and his last remaining hours) as a faithful dedicated employee with many friends and wonderful memories.
Jim was a master of the Tribune’s cross-word puzzles, doing them in ink and the tougher the better. He enjoyed reading, playing golf, afternoon cards and fantasy football at the Alibi. Time spent with his family, friends and pets were priceless.
The family wishes to thank all those who helped make Jim’s struggle with cancer bearable.
