Stacey Lyn Johnson made his appearance on Oct. 14, 1966.
Parents Jerry Lee Johnson and Ugie Anne Cook Streetman brought Stacey home to Sasakwa, Okla. where he lived and raised a family before joining his dad in Heaven on Nov. 5, 2013.
Stacey graduated from Sasakwa High School in 1985 and served his country in Desert Storm in 1990-1991.
He would remain a proud Veteran the rest of his life while working in the oil field industry.
Stacey married Kelly Lee Sweeden in 1988 and to this union was born Ethan Tyler and Sarah Jane.
Stacey enjoyed riding his motorcycle, even after lectures of safety from his Aunt Mary.
He loved playing golf with his favorite golfing buddies Justin and Coop. He'd play with Victor and Beau too, only if he knew he would win.
Stacey spent countless hours tinkering on cars and blaring music in his brother Scott's shop - a favorite hobby shared by the brothers.
Stacey was even known to dance around in the yard while his family peeked from the windows and enjoyed the show.
Most of all, Stacey was a Christian man, praising the Lord at Spring Baptist Church, helping others when he could, and forever being his sister Stephanie's protector.
Welcoming Stacey in Heaven is his dad Jerry.
Left here to anticipate the day when we will see him again is his wife, Kelly of the home; son, Ethan of Sasakwa; daughter, Sarah of the home, and adopted daughter, Chelsi Burr of Sasakwa.
