William "Kevin" Johnson

William "Kevin" Johnson, 41, of Emmett lost his long heroic battle with cancer on January 7, 2004. Kevin was born on May 19, 1962, in South Bend, IN to Ray and Marlene Johnson. The family moved to Emmett in 1973 where Kevin later graduated from high school. In 1982, he joined the Navy. Kevin served as an operations specialist aboard the USS Enterprise where he had the opportunity to see most of the world. Kevin met his future wife, Doris Perdomo, while stationed in San Francisco. After marrying in 1987, the couple moved to Florida. In 1991, Kevin was diagnosed with cancer. After successful treatment, the couple was asked to manage a facility in Miami that housed families of cancer patients. Wanting to give something back to the cause, the couple accepted.
