Remembering community benefactor Rod Johnson

| June 20, 2024 12:00 AM

I am writing today to remember my friend Rod Johnson. Rod passed in April, much too young, after suffering from health issues. The family wrote a great obituary, outlining the success Rod had achieved through the years and many of his personal time activities.

I wanted to touch on some of the community service, most of it unrecognized, that Rod and his companies provided over his many years. I would guess he donated to every single person and organization that requested one. Hundreds of individuals and worthy causes benefited from his faithful support.

I knew Rod and his family for over 50 years. Their commitments to Polson and Lake County cannot be measured. Since Don Olsson and others established the Lower Flathead Valley Community Foundation in 1998, Rod was our only treasurer until his recent retirement.
