Robert Ray Johnson, 76, passed away on January 3rd, 2023 at home with his family after a long struggle with Parkinson's Disease.

Bob was born on December 9, 1946 in Los Angeles, CA. He served in the US Army in the Vietnam War and received both a Bronze Star and a Purple Heart for his service there.

Bob came to Blythe because of his love for the River. He went on to build Water Wheel Resort and owned Riviera RV Resort.

Bob is survived by his wife Christine Johnson as well as his children Christin, Brandon, Tobi, and Shelby; his grandchildren Braydon, Noah, Kyndall, Luke, and Jesse Bob; his sister Susan Karnatz; his brother G.W. Johnson; and numerous nieces and nephews.

He was preceded in death by his father Iver Johnson; his mother Elva Johnson; and his mother in law Nellie Toburen.

Bobby was a wonderful and loving husband, father, grandfather, and friend to many. He loved the Lord and was a generous and caring man. He lived his life with integrity, compassion, confidence, diligence, and love. He touched the lives of many through his life.

He will be missed until we meet him again in the house of the Lord.
