Easton Johnson Obituary: Family Remembers 12-Year-Old Paw Paw, Michigan Boy Who Died in 2023
Easton Johnson is being remembered following reports of his death, but available public records indicate that several people share the same name, making it important to distinguish between individuals before publishing specific details.
One publicly documented obituary is for Easton Michael Johnson of Paw Paw, Michigan, who died on September 15, 2023, at the age of 12. The obituary identifies him as the son of Jimmy and Kelsie Johnson and says he was born in Kalamazoo on January 5, 2011.
Easton attended Paw Paw Middle School and was involved in youth baseball. He played as a pitcher and third baseman for the BTLA Canes and was remembered by his family and teammates for his enthusiasm for the sport.
Outside baseball, Easton enjoyed following the Miami Dolphins and Alabama football. His family also remembered the close relationship he shared with his brother, Maverick. He was affectionately known to those close to him as “Big E” and “EJ.”
Easton Johnson Death
The publicly available Michigan obituary relates to a death in 2023, and it should not automatically be connected to any newer report involving someone named Easton Johnson.
At present, there is not enough verified information to establish that the 2023 obituary is the same person referenced in a more recent death report. Details concerning a newer death, including the cause, circumstances and funeral arrangements, therefore remain unconfirmed.
Easton Michael Johnson’s published obituary nevertheless records the impact he had on his family, friends and baseball community during his short life. His loved ones continue to remember him through the relationships, interests and memories he left behind.
