Jeffry Lane Johnson, a funny, confident, sincere, intelligent, honest, and fiercely loving man, told his last sarcastic joke on Saturday, July 29, 2017. He was born in Sulphur, Louisiana, on August 17, 1980, to Jerry and Paula Muse Johnson. He grew up in Bryant and graduated from Bryant High School in 1998, where he played football and baseball. He graduated from the University of Arkansas in Fayetteville where he joined the Razorback football team in 1998 and 1999. He was a member of Central United Methodist Church. Jeff was a medical sales rep at BD Medical, but his side job was screening phone calls and making tee times. Jeff had a lot of loves in his life; sports, Doe's Eat Place, and Lululemon, to name a few, but nothing came close to his number one love, his family. His wife, Randi and their two daughters, Lilly and Westin, had his whole heart. A big kid himself, he was drawn to children and children were certainly drawn to Jeff. His wit, sense of humor, and fun-loving personality made him magnetic, but when you add in his compassion for others, and the way he loved and served his family and friends, he was truly like no other. He had a big smile with an even bigger laugh, and the hole he leaves in the hearts of his family and numerous friends is tremendous. He is survived by his wife, Randi (Davis) Johnson; two daughters, Lilly Lane and Westin Nicole Johnson; his parents, Paula and Jerry Johnson of Benton; his grandmother, Joy H. Muse of Bryant; two sisters, Julie Combs and husband Jeff, and Jill Henley and husband Brian; and his beloved nieces and nephews, Jordan, Justin, Brayden, Burke and Brianna. A Celebration of Jeff's life will be held at 2 p.m. on Thursday, August 3, 2017, at Central United Methodist Church at 6 W Dickson St., Fayetteville, Ark. 72701. Interment will follow at Fairview Memorial Gardens in Fayetteville. In lieu of flowers donations may be placed in honor of Jeff's beloved daughters at any First Security Bank.
