Taylor Morgan Johnson
October 8,1993 – February 4, 2026
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Taylor Morgan Johnson who died on February 4, 2026, at the age of 32. She left us unexpectedly but peacefully surrounded by loved ones.
Born on October 8, 1993. Taylor is survived by her parents Russ and Lisa Johnson, brothers; Wesley (Jen) Johnson, Tommy Johnson, Nick (Samatha) Johnson, her grandmothers: Shirley Johnson, Jewell DeBord, Uncle Tom (Nicole) DeBord, Aunt Lori (Mike) Adams, Uncle Rick (Mary) Johnson, Uncle Terry (Cindy) Johnson, Aunt Rae (Jim) King, thirteen cousins, their spouses and children; Rick Johnson, Christin Gelso, Kaylee Eubank, Kelsey Grosser, Hannah Adams, Zach Adams, Chelsea Becker, Marissa Clayton, Kyle DeBord, Matt DeBord, Chris DeBord, Olivia Lewis, Charlie Lewis: and many special friends including her “buddies” Mark and Tracy Yeager, many teachers and others who loved her.
She was preceded in death by her grandfathers, Daniel Johnson and Jack DeBord.
Taylor was born in Cincinnati, Ohio and lived her entire life in Fairfield. She was such a bright spot in so many lives and continues to shine through others as she donated her organs to save others. So far she has saved others with her liver, right kidney, heart valves. She has restored sight for two others with her corneas, and currently awaiting outcomes from her tissue, which will impact multiple people.
Taylor loved puzzles, anything Disney, coloring with sharpies, enjoying her favorite Canes, and going out to eat and “dates” with family and friends.
