Brian Johnston

BRIAN SCOTT JOHNSTON, 52Brian S. Johnston 52, of Belleview, Florida, passed away peacefully on Thursday, September 7, 2017 at his home.He was born in Williamsport, Pennsylvania in 1964. Brian was a Godly and passionate man, who enjoyed spending time with his family, and attending church at Meadowbrook in Ocala. One of Brian's passions was driving. Brian loved to get in the car, and just drive, never sure where the journey might take him each day; a morning drive from Ocala, ended up a late lunch in Georgia. His love for the road was matched with his love for nature, and all that God put together. Brian had an artist eye for spotting unusual and beautiful things, and always found a way to convey that beauty by either canvas or carving. Many of Brian's family and friends have been blessed by his creativity. Brian enjoyed learning forging, and loved the process of transforming not only raw materials, but also his own life. Watching "forged in fire" was more than a hobby for Brian, it was life changing for him, as it helped him to see things, not only as other envisioned, but as they "can be". Brian's passion for making all things useful and beautiful took on new meaning as he learned to forge.Brian was known for not only the "skunk stripe" in his hair, but also having the most welcoming smile, that would brighten anyone's mood. Known to those that loved him, by his fun loving personality, generosity and giving heart, Brian was a free spirit, who enjoyed life to the fullest, and was happiest when with his family and friends. Brian felt most blessed when blessing others. He always went out of his way to share what he had, no matter the value.Brian is survived by his Parents: Thomas and Alexis, his wife and best friend, Georganne; Children: Shannon Paul, Christopher, Cody, Amber, Candy Lynn, Samantha, Cheyenne, Abigail Rose, and Skylar Rayne. He is also survived by his sisters Shawna and Wendy, as well as many Grandchildren, as well as Jack Martin and Aleasha Shannon. Brian will be deeply missed by his family, who take comfort in knowing that he now rests with the Angels. We will celebrate Brian life on Friday September 15, 2017 at Roberts Funeral Home at 10:30am
