Obituary
Carloss Reed Johnston was born in Morris, OK on October 6, 1935, to Joseph Burton Johnston & Hettie Jane (Durham) Johnston and passed from this life in the family home on August 3, 2026, at the age of 90.
Carloss, or Shorty as many called him, worked for American Airlines for almost 40 years and even traveled as a consultant for them after his retirement. Upon retiring he and Terry made their homestead on The Lazy J Farm which was anything but. A host of animals ranging from horses to dogs and cats and even including a goat and a llama has passed through their care. Apart from their farm and rental management, he loved the Lord with all his heart and is now enjoying his full reward.
Preceded in death by his parents and his 11 siblings, he is survived by his wife, Terry Alyson Johnston; his sons and daughters-in-law, Tim & Cynthia Johnston and Doug & Dee Johnston; his grandchildren, Cassie Gonzales, Katrina Johnston and Nicholas Johnston; many nieces, nephews and close friends. He will be missed by all.
A graveside service will be held 10:00 a.m. Thursday, August 6, 2026, at the Morris Cemetery in Morris, OK.

Terry, Shorty was such a nice man and I enjoyed talking with him every time he came to see Jack.

Carlos was by far my favorite Uncle of the Johnston family. I have said he was the rubber band that kept me attached to the family after Richard passed away. Now my rubber band is broken. Carlos will forever be in my heart and always be remembered for the living person that he was.

Uncle Carloss was such a bright presence to any gathering. Cheerful and charismatic. He will be missed, and his memory is a blessing.

Shorts, you are one of the greatest men I’ve ever met. I have never forgotten you and never will. A very sincere man who had nothing but love for everyone he met. I’ve said many prayers for you Dad throughout the years. He was a God fearing man who loved his sons, Tim and Doug and their families more than they could ever imagine. So, spread your wings and fly freely and know that we all will see you again and what a joyful day that will be. Love always, Karen Blevins♥️
