Reinheart David Johnson, 58, of Jamestown, ND, passed away at his home, Thursday evening, April 25, 2024.
Reinheart “Reiny” was born in Bismarck, ND, on November 7, 1965 to Walter and Gladys Johnson. He joined one brother and twin sisters at home. He attended school in Tuttle, Robinson and Hays High School in Hays, Kansas.
Throughout Reiny’s life he had many different jobs where he met many friends that he now calls family. He worked as a farm hand in his younger days. Different opportunities came and he was a cement truck driver for Lindberg Bros. and later Jamestown Ready Mix. At Reiny’s passing he was enjoying his new job as a taxi driver for XLT Taxi. Reiny loved visiting and learning about everyone and anything. He spoke two languages: North Dakotan and Sarcasm. That was Reiny – heavy on the sarcasm.
Reiny will be remembered for giving the best hugs, his smile and telling stories from the past. He always had a story to tell or some missing part to add to your story. He loved playing guitar and singing around a bonfire while camping with family and friends, and having a few beers. Mostly, Reiny knew people, and if someone needed a long talk or an ear to listen, he was your guy.
Reiny leaves behind his wife, Pamela Johnson (Buelow), Jamestown; daughter, Ashley (Shane) McCormack (Guthmiller); two granddaughters, Makenzie and Madison, Carrington, ND; daughter, Hannah Johnson, Fargo, ND; brother, Louis (Barb) Sonsteng, Baldwin City, KS; sister, Dorothy Dunn (Johnson) Jamestown; four aunts, Lizzy Docktor, Bismarck, ND, Dorene Morlock, Bismarck, Sally Sibe, Driscoll, ND, and Erna Charbonneau, Lewiston, WA; cousins, nieces, nephews, great nieces & nephews, and friends who became family. We will all miss Reiny and the love he graciously gave everyone.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Walter and Gladys; an infant brother, David (1954); and a sister, Doris (1971).
