It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Millen Russell Johnston on November 29, 2022 at the Carberry Care Centre at the age of 88.

He will be lovingly remembered by his wife Mona, of 64 years, son Dallas (Lynne) & grandson Ryan & great grandkids Kaya & Violet; granddaughter Candace (Atlee Abey) & great grandkids Aklen, Aysen & Cavley; son Daryl (Karen) & grandson Tyler (Sarah) & great grandkids Carter & Brooks; granddaughter Raylene; daughter Lori & grandsons Garret and Luke.  Also, sister Glynis Danielson and brother-in-law Charles Swanson along with many nieces & nephews.

Millen met Mona in Binscarth and married in 1958.  In 1966 they moved with their 3 kids to Winnipeg.

A Strong believer in 4H, he participated in his younger years and still supported in his later years.

Millen loved all types of livestock, especially cattle.  As well he was an accomplished trainer and handler of retrievers.  He was asked to judge the National Retriever championship.

Millen took great pride in watching his grandkids and great grandkids in their sports, 4H beef clubs and cattle shows.  Having many years of experience with cattle, Millen passed along many tips of the trade to his grandkids and great grandkids.  Millen’s greatest pride was his family

Millen loved the farm & with Mona they moved to Brookdale onto her family farm.  In 1998, Dallas and family moved to the farm with Millen & Mona moving to Neepawa in 2006.
