Harald Martin Johnson
1962 – 2025
Harald (Harry) Johnson passed away peacefully on February 1, 2025 surrounded by his loving family.
Harry was born on March 19, 1962 in Manila, Philippines to Leonard and Maire Johnson. Harry is survived by his wife Margaret and son Caleb. He has 3 siblings, Corrie (Rico) Alleje, Steven (LeAnn) Johnson and Leila Johnson.
He graduated from Faith Academy in 1980 in the Philippines. Soon after graduation, Harry left the Philippines and came to the United States. He eventually ended up in Illinois and became a mechanic and earned Master Technician status on Toyota, Lexus and Acura. In 1986, Harry met his wife Margaret and they married in 1988. 15 years later, his son Caleb was born. Among his many roles, he was a beloved husband, father, son ("Number One Son"), brother and uncle.
Harry was an adventurer who navigated the tunnels of Corregidor Island, sailed, flew planes, and was no stranger to triple digits on a speedometer, whether on four wheels or two. Intensely interested in a myriad of subjects, Harry would immerse himself in them to become a subject matter expert on topics as wide-ranging as audiophile equipment, cutting-edge technology, firearms, and even thought-provoking ones like "Flat Earth Theory".
