It is with profound sadness that we, the family, announce the sudden passing of George Dominic Johnson, on April 23rd 2026, at the age of 56. Born in Sydney on January 19th 1970, He was the son of the late Mary and Arthur Johnson, of Potlotek.

Dom was many things in his life, a brother, an uncle to many nieces and nephews, a papa, and a very good friend to many. No matter how much – or how little he had, Dom was always known to give all the help he could to those he loved, whether it was to fix something – go for a cruise – or even watch the kids, he did it wholeheartedly ensuring that everyone would smile or laugh. Most of all, Dominic was known as Everyone’s Uncle Dom. In Dom’s younger years, he played baseball with the Chapel Island Braves baseball team, a sport he always loved, even as a Cutie.
