Kenneth G. Johnston passed away May 23, 2021 with his family at his side in Corsicana, Texas. Kenneth was born February 15, 1934 to Ollin and Milton Johnston in Powell, Texas. He graduated from Kerens High School, Navarro College, the University of North Texas (then North Texas State Teachers College). He later received his Masters from Baylor University, and a Doctorate in Education from the University of Arizona.

He was in the National Guard at Fort Seal, Oklahoma when Navarro College contacted him to come teach math. His career at Navarro spanned over 20 years. He continued his career at Trinity Valley College for the next 20 years, teaching math there also, and often teaching night courses at the prison system. He ended his teaching career as an adjunct teaching college algebra.

Kenneth always had other jobs simultaneously to his teaching. He was a homebuilder; building over 600 homes in Corsicana, many of them custom. Ranching was another of his loves, not to mention going to cattle auctions and hay baling.

He was one of the charter members of the Corsicana Jaynees and at one time, president of the Corsicana Kiwanis Club.

None of the above compared to his love for his daughter and three granddaughters. He is survived by his daughter, Tammy Carter, granddaughters, Mackenzie Irvin, Claire Irvin, and Anna Carter, sister Karen Bush, sister-in-law, Anita Johnston, sister-in-law, Diane Stephens, numerous cousins, nieces, nephews, and former wife, Neva Johnston. He was a member of the First United Methodist Church of Kerens.
