Roger William Johnson II
God granted Roger’s wish to die at home. First born son of Bill and Nancy Laumbach Johnson, he was born on
July 16th, 1965. First grandson of Daniel and Juanita Laumbach at Valencia, NM.
Third generation Mechanic, gifted by God, he rebuilt the engine of a car his dad dragged into the yard on a chain, when he was about 11 years old. Dad said "That’s your car, make it run." In two weeks, Roger was driving it around the back yard. His dad found cars for him to fix, and he did! He liked Mopar cars the most, later driving the family Dodge station wagon, his favorite, because of the terrific power it showed! His gift of mechanics proved he could fix anything. He wore many hats, because he liked to work on anything. Build, he did, storage buildings for his tools, body and fender man. H&C truck electrical service, hotel parking attendant, Motorola, Cellular and More, Skinner Carburetors and Distributors, Imported Auto Repair, Mobile Medical and Safety, KSVA Radio Station, just to mention a few.
Special to him were, the elderly, especially Aunt Betty, Anabelle Stevens, Wayne and Charity, his cousins, and relatives to numerous to mention.

He was dedicated to God by Pastor Kenneth Cox when he was 6 months old, he knew the bible front to back and loved Jesus dearly! He wasn’t perfect, only God is perfect!)
Another gift God gave Roger was, love for animals, he never met a cat who did not like him, he fed and petted stray cats in Albuquerque for many years. His cat Butterscotch preceded him in death.
