Anthony Paul “A.P.” Johnson
Des Moines
Anthony Paul “A.P.” Johnson, 37, passed away Sunday, January 25, 2015. A.P. was born February 10, 1977 in Des Moines to Ralph Johnson and Mary Hildreth. He was a man who didn’t know how to do anything small; everything was big with A.P. He had a great sense of humor and was very witty. There was never a dull moment when he was around. He was a big practical joker but he would help anyone with anything. He was always tinkering with something and could fix anything; he could put MacGyver to shame. A.P. enjoyed fishing, camping and four-wheeling. He will be greatly missed by all who knew him.
Anthony is survived by his mother, Mary Hildreth-Todd; sister, Rochell Comer; brother, Ronnie Todd; and children, Anthony Johnson Jr., Skylar Johnson, Briannah Johnson and Brenden Johnson. He is also survived by his special aunt, Debbie; his nieces, Salena Comer, Katelyn Comer, Jenna Todd and Erica Todd-Bulger; his furry friend, Cutie Pie; companion, Jennifer; and other loving family and friends.
He was preceded in death by his grandmothers, Kate Israel and Georgia Walker; his grandfather, Paul Hildreth; and uncle, Gene Hildreth.
Services will be held Wednesday, February 4, 2015 at Hamilton’s Funeral Home, 605 Lyon Street, Des Moines. Family will begin greeting friends at 12:00 p.m. with funeral service to start at 2:30 p.m.
Memorial contributions may be directed to the family.

May the family be comforted by our God of understanding and peace as we await God' promise to restore our loved ones back to a Paradise earth where there will be no sickness, aging, or dying.--Psalm 37:11,29; Revelation 21:3,4.
