Obituary
Gary Cecil Johnston, long time resident
of The Colony, Texas, left this earth to be with our Lord and Saviour on
Wednesday, February 6, 2008, in Fort Worth at the age of 65 after a courageous battle with cancer and complications following surgery.
He was born November 27, 1942 in Portsmouth, Virginia to Cecil Hugh Johnston and Edna McElroy Johnston.
Gary married Darlene K. Haakensen on October 12, 1979 in Dallas.
Gary was raised in Gardendale, Alabama and moved to California at the age of 19, where he began his 40 year career in the aluminum extrusion business. Throughout the years his work took him to various parts of the country, his last position being with Western Extrusions in Carrollton, Tx for about 18 years.
Gary will be remembered as a loving husband, devoted father, and a generous person who was always willing to help a friend in need.
He is preceded in death by his parents.

his loving in-laws Fred and Shirley Haakensen of Carlton, Minnesota, and a host of aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, and long-time friends.
