Landon Wayne Johnston, age 45, of Fouke, Arkansas, went to be with the Lord on Sunday, March 17, 2024, with his family by his side.
Landon was born January 19, 1979, in Texarkana, Texas and had been a lifetime resident of Fouke. He was a retired welder and a member of Local 798 and was a Christian.

He was preceded in death by his mother, Katherine Scoggins Johnston.
