Brian Johns
Brian Russell Johns, age 61, passed away unexpectedly from heart failure on July 21, 2018, at his home in Sylvania, Ohio. Brian was born on Oct. 18, 1956, in Toledo, Ohio, as the second of three children to Paul (Bob) and Annadelle (Treat) Johns. He grew up in Toledo and remained an active member of the community his entire life. Brian attended Whitmer High School, graduating in 1974. Early into his career, Brian took a chance and started his own heating and air conditioning business. His charisma, ability to fix anything, and passion for helping others enabled him to grow his business and live life on his own terms. Brian was a devoted husband, father, and grandfather. He would do anything for the ones he loved. He was a generous man who valued experiences over possessions and enjoyed sharing those experiences with others. Brian always made the annual trips to Hubbard Lake and the Abaco Islands memorable. His friends and family will never forget the countless nights sitting on the porch laughing together. Brian leaves behind his beloved children Andrew (Brandi) Johns, Samantha (Chad) Warren, Emily Miller, and Anna (Dustin) Van Hove; and precious grandchildren Simon Palmer and Tabitha Warren. He is also survived by his sisters Robin Markey and Sharon Johns. Also surviving are the loving extended Johns, Coyle and Markey families, countless wonderful friends and his dog Stella. In passing, Brian was reunited with his mother, father, and beloved wife, Cathy Coyle Johns. If you would like to make a donation in Brian’s name, consider Mobile Meals of Toledo, mobilemeals.org. The family also encourages guests to keep Brian’s spirit alive by shopping locally and helping support the small business owners of Toledo, just as Brian would want us to do.
