  • Obituary

    Birth: Sep. 22, 1946, New Orleans, Orleans Parish, Louisiana Death: Apr. 5, 1994, New Orleans, Orleans Parish, Louisiana, USA Age: 47 Born in New Orleans, Louisiana, Chris McCartney Johnston was the son of George McCartney Johnston Jr. [born George McCartney Johnston Jr. Dec. 11, 1925 and died George McCartney Johnston II Nov. 2, 1997] and Mary Ann Chambers Johnston [born Mary Ann Chambers July 24, 1926 and died Mary Ann Chambers (Johnston) Simon June 8, 1999]. Both parents were from New Orleans. However, they divorced in Dec. 1949 when Chris was just over three years old. His mother later married a Darryl M. Simon, now Chris's step-father, and they had a child named REBECCA "BECKY" SIMON (later REBECCA "BECKY" SIMON BRUNIES). Chris was raised primarily by his Aunt Helen Tynes Crozier (his mother's step-sister), and also by his grandmother Lena M. Landry Tynes Chambers (Mary Ann's and Helen's mother). He also lived at some point in Chalmette, Louisiana. Although very intelligent, with a wryly expressed humor and sense of the absurd, Chris developed a pronounced stutter in his childhood which continued throughout his life. Chris moved to Salt Lake City, Utah, around 1970 and lived there about 10 years. During that time, he was a student at the University of Utah, and also worked on the University of Utah's Grounds Crew, and then as a cook. Chris moved back to New Orleans, Louisiana, around 1980. He developed full-blown AIDS in the late 1980s or early 1990s and finally went into a Catholic Church run Hospice in New Orleans. He died there several months later on April 5, 1994, a year or two before effective life and health prolonging "3-drug cocktails" become available.
