MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. - Austyn Oshen Johnson of Bruce Crossing, Michigan, passed away on Oct. 31, 2024, in Minneapolis, at Fairview Children's Hospital.

He was born in Ironwood, Michigan, to Erik and Tara Johnson on June 20, 2006. Austyn went to school at Ewen-Trout Creek High School in Ewen. He loved being in school.

Austyn loved to travel, go riding in the side by side, swimming in our pool, going to movies and watching football.

In 2021, Austyn was given a Make-A-Wish vacation to Legoland in Schaumberg, Illinois. His biggest hobby was assembling Legos.

Austyn always wanted to know what everyone was doing for the day. He always showed us the weather at home and the Florida Keys, which was his favorite vacation place. Austyn was a happy boy that always had a smile on his face and laughter that would light up a room.
