Johnson, 75, of Ceresco, NE, and Anchorage, AK, died January 25, 2016. Born January 11, 1941, in Lincoln, to Willard and Evelyn (Swanson) Johnson. Retired commercial salmon fisherman in Alaska and businessman in Ceresco. He was a member of the Ceresco Covenant Church (and baptized there), Bluebirds Across Nebraska, Ducks Unlimited and Saunders County Historical Society. Donald grew up in Ceresco, NE, was graduated from Ceresco High School in 1959 and NE Wesleyan in Lincoln in 1963. He entered the Peace Corp and volunteered in Guatemala for 2 years, was with Vista (Volunteers in Service for America) in Juneau and Bethel AK, at the Office of Economic Opportunity. He began fishing with his Eskimo friends which eventually led him into doing commercial salmon fishing with a commercial license and his own boat, The Katmai, in the summers, 32 out of 40 years while in AK. He brought many of his friends and relatives from around Ceresco to AK to fish with him on his boat. He attended the University of Alaska in Fairbanks and in Anchorage. He would fly his plane with friends to fish around the state. Don was an official resident of AK, living most of the time in his small log cabin home in Anchorage. He was an enthusiastic tour guide for many friends and relatives who came to Anchorage throughout the years. Later he was in partnership with his brother with D & D Elevator, and Johnson Farm Service in Ceresco and fished in the summers. In his later years he spent most of his time in Ceresco, and was an avid pheasant and waterfowl hunter, a supporter of Ducks Unlimited, as well as Blue Birds across NE, (setting up and checking weekly, his many bird houses around Ceresco). Don loved history, especially of Saunders County, Ceresco, the Ox Bow Trail, Nebraska, and his family genealogy. He even had one of the Twin Rocks used for guiding the Pioneers across Saunders county, moved to the front of the Saunders County Historical Building in Wahoo and helped raise money for the society with their yearly fall fish dinners. He loved astrology and loved to teach others about the universe. Donald was a lifelong student, reader and a true adventurer. Preceded in death by parents.
