Albany County residents will have two chances to pay respects to James E. “Jim” Johnson at St. Paul’s Newman Center in Laramie. A vigil service is set for Friday, June 12, 2026, at 6:00 p.m., followed by a funeral liturgy on Saturday, June 13, 2026, at 11:00 a.m.; interment will follow at Greenhill Cemetery, 455 N. 15th St. in Laramie.

Johnson, 89, lived in Laramie and died on May 15, 2026. He was born July 28, 1936, in Sterling, Colorado. Montgomery Stryker Funeral Home said a full obituary will be posted.

The services place Johnson within the public life of Laramie, where St. Paul’s Newman Center serves the University of Wyoming community as well as residents of the city. The parish describes itself as a place for students, faculty and staff, and also for alumni and local residents, making it a natural setting for a vigil and funeral liturgy that will draw from more than one corner of town.

His name is also among the local death notices now listed in Albany County obituary indexes, underscoring how recent losses continue to shape the community record. Legacy’s Albany County listing shows 699 obituaries, placing Johnson among the newest names in that public stream of remembrance.

Greenhill Cemetery, where Johnson will be laid to rest, is a city cemetery that serves Laramie families during difficult times. In a city of 31,407 counted in the 2020 Census and estimated at 32,284 on July 1, 2025, the coming services will give neighbors, former colleagues, parishioners and university friends a fixed place and time to gather.
