Johnson was a first baseman for the Kansas City Royals and Montreal Expos during his brief Major League Baseball playing career from 1982 to 1984. He threw and batted right-handed, and was listed at 6 feet 3 inches tall and 215 pounds. Johnson was also a former first base coach of the Boston Red Sox of MLB.

Johnson and his wife, Daphne, had five children

Johnson died from COVID-19 on January 26, 2021 at the age of 64.

Mr. Ron Johnson age 64 of Morrison, TN, was born March 23, 1956 in Garden Grove, California. Ron passed January 26, 2021 at St. Thomas Rutherford Hospital in Murfreesboro, TN due to complications from COVID-19.

He was a proud member of Charles Creek The Baptist Church. Ron retired from Major League Baseball after a wonderful 40-year career, but always said he never worked a day in his life. When he wasn't on the field, Ron cherished his time at home with his family, riding his horse, watching college football and cutting up with his friends. Loved by all for his big smile, positive attitude, and encouraging words, he will be missed by all.

Survivors include his wife of 27 years Daphane Johnson, children Savannah Johnson, Christopher Johnson, Christian Gonzalez, Cheyanne Johnson, and Bridget Johnson, and grandchildren Greyson Asher Johnson, Calliana Marie Johnson, and Walker T. Gonzalez.

Per his wishes, Mr. Johnson will be cremated and a memorial service honoring his life will be held at 1:00 P.M. Saturday, January 30, 2021 at the chapel of McMinnville Funeral Home. Cody Holman, Nick Pelham, and Darrell Cantrell will officiate. The Johnson family will receive friends Saturday from 11:00 A.M. until 1:00 P.M. at the chapel of McMinnville Funeral Home. Social distancing and wearing facial masks are strongly encouraged. Please, no food at the funeral home.
