Chad Russell Johnson

Chad Russell Johnson, born October 25, 1994, was called home to be with the Lord on October 29, 2020. Even as a child Chad demonstrated extreme ability and desire to learn. Working alongside his two best teachers, his Grandad and Uncle Arnold, Chad learned not only how to fix anything, but how to be an honest, kind, and hardworking man. Generous with his time and talents, Chad helped many a person with whatever needed repair, rather it be electrical, concrete, roofing, tree cutting, carpentry, or pretty much anything else. Ambitious and hard-working, Chad always gave 100% He showed great aptitude and especially enjoyed mechanics. Many a stranded motorist benefited from his skills, kindness and willingness to help others. Chad was neither a follower nor a leader; but marched to the tune of his own drum. He was very steadfast and strong willed; he did not allow anything to stand in the way of anything he wanted to accomplish. If he did not know it, he would learn it. Anyone that has ever met Chad would agree that his smile was contagious. He especially enjoyed teasing and making others smile and laugh. No one could be in a bad mood around him, especially his two brothers. Loyal to all, Chad was a wonderful father, husband, son, brother, grandson, nephew, uncle, brother-in-law, son-in-law, friend and neighbor. He is survived by his wife, Anne; and son, Kye of Millsboro; mother, Dawn Johnson of Georgetown; father, Scott Johnson of Georgetown; brother, Shane Johnson of Millsboro; brother, Seth Johnson of Georgetown; maternal grandparents, Lewis and Janet Scarborough of Georgetown; paternal grandparents, Ann and Tom Bush of Georgetown; great aunt, Barbara Truitt of Georgetown; and his mother and father-in-law, Jamie and Greg Imhof of Millsboro.
