Delbert Troy Johnson, 59, of Cottonwood.

On October 15, 2013 our dear Delbert beat us to the punch and finally got to meet his Jesus.

He was a devoted husband, loving father, joyful grandpa, and faithful friend. His commitment to his family, friends, and community were unmatched. He was a pillar of strength to all who knew him and he carried that responsibility with honor. It seemed for many as if he held up the world around them.

Delbert owned Delbert Johnson Equipment Rental but was best known for his tree service and stump removal as the "Dr. of Stumpology". He worked in the tree business for over 40 years, previously at Davey Tree Service in the bay area. He loved his job and worked tirelessly to ensure that he maintained a constant standard of professionalism and dependability for every customer he served. No man worked as hard as Delbert to provide for his family and took every opportunity to help others provide for theirs.

As a lover of Jesus, he put his faith into action. He was known for his generosity and willingness to give endlessly of his time and resources to those in need, without hesitation. There wasn't anyone he wouldn't help; family, friends, total strangers. The ripple effect of his life reached far and wide.

Delbert passed away doing what he loved - cutting trees. He will be remembered for his goofy, fun, bigger-than-life personality and the reputation of generosity and integrity that proceeded him.

He is survived by his wife Karol Johnson, children Andrea Johnson (Jim Klokke), Amy Ellena (Forrest), Mike Johnson (Jess), 7 grandchildren, and many "adopted children" who he considered his own.
