Paul Johnson, Jr., 89, Campbellsville, KY

 

Paul Johnson, Jr., 89, of Campbellsville, KY, son of the late Paul Johnson, Sr, and Brooksie Davenport Johnson, passed away peacefully at his home surrounded by family and friends, on Friday, May 8, 2026. He was alarmingly close to 90 years old, missing his birthday by only 9 days.

 

Paul was a graduate of Campbellsville High School Class of 1953, and obtained a degree in Agriculture from the University of Kentucky. While attending classes in Lexington, he became involved in the Presbyterian Student Fellowship and met the love of his life, Joan Shear.

 

After college, Paul served in the army as an infantry officer with the 100th Division in Ft. Chaffee, Arkansas, and often used his weekend leave to drive from Arkansas to see Joan at her home in New York. All those miles on the road paid off, and they married in 1962, beginning a life-long partnership that lasted 58 years.

 

Paul taught school at Taylor County High while also farming, developing subdivisions, and building houses. He was part owner of Buckhorn Block Company. In 1986 he joined the Campbellsville Water Company until his retirement in 1998, after which he and Joan traveled extensively covering many parts of the globe. Paul found a way to combine his love of travel with his knowledge of engineering and water through Living Waters of the World, a non-profit that builds sustainable water purification systems for rural communities. He and Joan participated in multiple installations of these systems in small towns across Mexico.

 

As much as he enjoyed seeing the world, Paul’s heart and passion remained in his beloved hometown. He was an active member of Bethel First Presbyterian Church serving at the local, state, and national level. He spent many years with the Lions Club including multiple terms as local chapter president, and served on the Brookside Cemetery board.

 

In addition to his parents, he was also preceded in death by his devoted wife, Joan Shear Johnson.

Junior made a profession of faith in Christ at an early age. He served faithfully at Pleasant Hill Baptist Church, actively singing in the Men’s Choir. He knew who Christ was to him and lived by that throughout his entire life. He would always say, “God has been good to me. Yes, God has been good to me. He has blessed me all these years because I treated people right.”

 

At an early age, he worked on a farm, which instilled a strong work ethic in him. He later worked for the Kentucky State Highway Department and retired after many years of service. All the while, he operated a lawn care service that he provided to his home church, other churches, and the community.

 

To know him was truly a blessing. If he saw you, you would always be greeted with a smile and conversation, always spreading the word of how good God has been. He also loved dressing to impress every day and always stayed sharp.

 

His daily routine often consisted of going to Walmart, where he would talk with people sitting in the everyday meeting spot or with people passing by while shopping, becoming a familiar face to many.
