Verlynn John Johnson, age 68, of Newell, Iowa, died on Sunday, June 25, 2017, at the Newell Good Samaritan Society in Newell.

Verlynn, a son of John H. and Anna R. (Heckenleibel) Johnson, was born on November 11, 1948, in Iowa. Baptized on November 28, 1948, at St. Peter’s Lutheran Church in Newell and confirmed there as well on April 15, 1965, he attended school in Newell, graduating from Newell Providence High School in 1966. An avid reader from his youth, he furthered his education at Iowa State University where he graduated with an Engineering Degree. Upon returning home, Verlynn farmed with his father before sustaining an injury in a motorcycle accident. He, then, made his home at the Newell Good Samaritan Society where he enjoyed the Spelling Bees.

An avid fan of the Iowa State Cyclones and Mountain Dew, he wouldn’t miss a game without his "Dew." He will be, deeply, missed by all who knew and loved him. Verlynn was preceded in death by his parents.

Funeral services will be held Friday, June 30, 2017, at 1:30 p.m. at St. Peter’s Lutheran Church in Newell. Burial will follow in the Newell Cemetery.
