Kim Rod Johnson

A joint memorial graveside service for Kim Rod Johnson and Mary Jane Winquest will be held on Thursday, September 17, 2026, at 3:00 p.m. at the Prairie Home Cemetery in Holdrege, Nebraska, with Pastor Dave Johnson officiating.

Kim Rod Johnson, 77, passed away June 21, 2026, in Lincoln, Nebraska, where he was living at The Waterford care facility. Kim was born in Holdrege on July 15, 1948, to Patricia Ann Jordan and Rodney Roy Johnson, all of Holdrege.

Kim was a 1966 graduate of Holdrege High School and received his undergraduate degree from Kearney State College.  He served in the Army in Germany.  He earned his Master's degree from Portland State University and lived most of his adult life in Portland, where he worked in the restaurant business, pursued his passion of helping others through counseling, and became a prolific tennis player.

Kim dedicated himself to the Lord and began his ministry as an evangelist ministering on the street, in prisons, churches, and building relationships with a wide variety of people. Beginning in 2004, a ministry assignment took him to Switzerland, where he taught a prophetic course for a few weeks. He soon formed friendships, and he was invited back for many years to speak at schools, confirmation classes, private homes, various churches, and therapeutic facilities. In his simple, humble, and humorous manner, he testified to God's transforming power and ministered prophetically.

Kim will be forever missed by his family and friends and all who have been impacted by his life.

He was preceded in death by his parents and his step-mother Phyllis Winquest Johnson.

He is survived by his brother, Ed Johnson (Linda) of St. George, Utah; step-sisters: Julie Sand (Roger) of Lincoln; Mary Jane Winquest of Lincoln; and Joyce Olsen (Clark) of Bellevue, Washington; as well as cousins, nieces and nephews.

A joint celebration of life, open house will be held at the Venue Restaurant in the Cornhusker Room, 4107 Pioneer Woods Drive, Suite # 105, Lincoln, Nebraska, on Sunday, Sept 20, 2026, from 2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m.
