Doug “Dadoo” Johnson August 12, 1955 - December 7, 2023

Douglas (Dadoo) Arthur Johnson passed away unexpectedly, at the age of 68, on the morning of December 7, 2023. He was born to Arthur Sigurdur Johnson and Marian Irene Brown Johnson, in Payson, Utah on August 12, 1955. He grew up in Spanish Fork, Utah, with his siblings: Vina, George, Lillian, Jack, and Margaret, along with many bonus brothers and sisters. He is a graduate of Spanish Fork High School. He married Michelle Lynn Skinner Johnson on August 27, 2011 in Orem, Utah.

He loved his job as a heavy equipment operator mostly in excavation (moving dirt, as he called it). He was a man of many trades. He enjoyed working on anything with a motor, and he also enjoyed painting vehicles. Doug took pride in everything he did. He would help anyone who needed it and would give the clothes off his back. He touched so many lives. His other enjoyable times were spent with his family and friends, going to the sand dunes and four-wheeling.

Doug is survived by Michelle and his children: Matt, Miranda and C.J., Clifford and Tiffani, Nancy and Gunner, Ashley and Kyler, Cory and Sadie, son-in-law Jaramie (and his fiancée, Chealsea); many bonus children; as well as his estranged children, Zeb and Dusty. Also survived by his brothers and sisters: Vina and Mike Foster, George and Vicky Johnson, Lil and Terry Shepherd, Jack and Val Johnson, and Margaret Upshaw. Additionally survived by 22 grandchildren and two great-grandchildren. Doug is preceded in death by his parents; his step-son, Alex Hebner; as well as many other loved ones.
