Thomas Arthur Johnson

January 31, 1948 to December 3, 2003

Thomas Arthur Johnson, 55, of Friday Harbor died of cancer on December 3, 2003 with his wife and sister at his side. Tom was born in Tacoma on January 31, 1948. He received a Bachelor of Architecture and Master of Business Administration from the University of Washington and was a founding partner and president of Johnson Braund Design Group of Seattle. Community service was an important part of his life. He served on the Normandy Park City Council, Planning Commission, and Community Club Board as well as on the Three Tree Point Yacht Club Board of Trustees.

Tom married his childhood friend, Leighanne (Ann) Harris, who was his partner for 33 years. Dr. Harris resides in the home they built together in Friday Harbor. They had an extraordinary bond that remains an inspiration to their friends and family. His many family members will miss his gentle spirit and enthusiasm for life.

Details about a celebration of Tom's life to be held on December 14th and remembrances, in lieu of flowers, are available at www.tomjohnson.org. Tom's spirit will live on in all of us. Smooth sailing skipper.
