R. J. Johnston

R. J. Johnston, 77, of Plant City, Fla. went to his eternal home in heaven on Aug. 21, 2021.

Survivors include his wife of 40 years, Cheryl Johnston; sons Shannon Johnston and Joe (Andrea) Hayes; five siblings in Alabama – Mary Ruth Haynes, Gerald Johnston, Jimmy Johnston, Carolyn Minter, and Caffey Radney; in-laws Peggy Meek of Bradenton and Paula and Wesley Gamble of Brooksville, along with many beloved nieces and nephews. RJ’s delight was in his six grandchildren – Trevor Johnston, Haley Hayes, Karaline Hayes, Trent Johnston, and the two youngest, Estelle Hayes and Josephine Hayes.

He was proud to have served our country as an aircraft mechanic in the United States Air Force from 1962-1966 at Clark Airbase in the Philippines during the Vietnam War. Personally, he enjoyed many happy hours of flight time as an instrument-rated, multi-engine private pilot. His other passions were good friends, golf and encouraging everyone he met, especially children.

The family will receive friends on Saturday, Sep. 4, 2021, from 10 to 11 a.m. at the Plant City Church of God, 2103 Mud Lake Road. A celebration of life service will follow at 11 a.m. in the church sanctuary where it’s hoped friends will wear patriotic clothing. In respect and care for all in attendance, masks will be provided.

Online condolences may be shared at www.haught.care and in lieu of flowers, donations to the James A. Haley Veterans Hospital in Tampa would be meaningful. RJ was a patriot, though and through.
