ELVIS AARON JOHNSON

Suddenly on January 10, 2024, Elvis passed away. 

He had just returned 2 days earlier from an amazing 3-month vacation in Roatan, Honduras with his wife of 12 years. He was only 45 on his passing but enjoyed a full and interesting life, including 3 wonderful months relaxing, taking boat trips, snorkeling, lots of food, drinks, beach days and snuggling on the couch with his 2 well-loved dogs. 

He was grateful to spend the last 2 weeks bonding with his oldest stepdaughter Kenzie and enjoying the long Island iced teas on the beach. He made it home and was able to make 1 last trip to the casino, visit and hug his youngest stepdaughter Paityn and enjoy his favourite Burger King. 

He leaves to grieve his sudden passing the Love of his Life; Lisa, Beloved Mother Marilyn, Father Larry, brothers Ryan and Troy, stepdaughters Kenzie and Paityn, as well as many other extended family members, friends and coworkers. 

You had to know Elvis to love him, and those that did felt lucky he was in their life. He grew up in Leaf Rapids, MB before moving to Winnipeg. He worked as a security guard at Portage Place and then The Forks before switching to a maintenance position. 

It was while at the Forks that he met his Wife and they began their life together with a beautiful family wedding in Antigua. After the Forks Elvis moved to Polo Park where he quickly became a valued part of their team. 

In his spare time Elvis loved to go fishing, golf, and try his luck at the casino. He had just gotten back to playing baseball in the summer but was happiest playing video games at home, just relaxing on the couch. 

Not everyone knew but just that morning of his death he had been offered a job with a new friend met while in Roatan. He was going to pack the place up and return to Roatan to start an exciting new chapter in their lives. 

Lisa is grateful to the staff at Polo Park, the paramedics that treated him as well as the doctors and extended family who helped her say goodbye one last time. 

All condolences have been appreciated and cherished. 

Elvis lived the life he wanted, no questions asked. He was clear on his last wishes that no funeral be held. He was a guy who wore shorts an Adidas polo and ball cap at his wedding and he was comfortable in his own skin. He said what he wanted, even if you might not like hearing it, and wasn't sorry to do so. He will be forever missed and we know he'd love you to toast him with a drink to his memory.
