Robert Victor Johnson III

August 23, 1961 - December 3, 2021

Robert Victor Johnson III, lost his long battle with anxiety and depression on Friday December 3rd, 2021. He was proceeded in death by his mother, Geraldine Elizabeth (Miller) Johnson and his father, Robert Victor Johnson Jr who welcomed him home with open arms and his pain is no more. Bob, as he was affectionately called, was born in Kansas City, Missouri on August 23, 1961. He grew up in a big loving family where he was the eldest of four children. Bob graduated from Truman High School in 1981 and went on to become a very talented hardworking Union painter with District Counsil #3 and was a Forman for most of his career. Bob was a perfectionist at his skill. Anyone who knew Bob knew he was quite a ladies man. He had an infectious smile, great personality with a "sprinkle" of obnoxiousness thrown in and he never knew a stranger. He towered over all those around, you couldn't help but notice him. Those closest to him lovingly nicknamed him "Beautiful Bob" because he truly was just that. Bob enjoyed being outdoors, fishing, hunting, boating, pickle ball, watching his hometown teams (Chiefs and Royals), bowling, spending time with family and friends, playing games and cards (especially Kings in the corner was one of his favorites), going out on the town dancing and going to 54th Street for his favorite drink, a Strawberry Long Island Tea. He was a kid at heart and had quite a few jokes he told regularly (Hey Mithter). He loved hard and was always there when anyone needed help. Bob will be remembered by his daughter Brooke (Nick) Runnebaum, his 2 grandchildren, his siblings Andrew (Wendy) Johnson, Angela Schlotman and Kristin Jones (his known favorite) and his many adoring nieces and nephews and great nieces and nephews. A celebration of life will be held in the Spring 2022 at Mt. Moriah Cemetery. More information to be posted on Bob's Facebook page. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the National Suicide Hotline in honor of our loving Beautiful Bob.
