Ryan Johnson
April 29th, 1983 - March 5th, 2018 Family and friends will celebrate the life of accomplished Juneau mountaineer and climber Ryan Johnson (34) April 8th at 2pm at the JACC followed by a wake at the Twisted Fish. His life was cut short on March 5, on the descent following the first documented climb of the north face of the main tower in the Mendenhall Towers. Local ice climbing routes as well as world-class rock climbs bear Ryan’s name. “To date, no one has been more instrumental in the development of new routes around Juneau,” Clint Helander wrote in the Alpinist magazine. Growing up in Juneau, Ryan gravitated toward the mountains and the ice of the Mendenhall Glacier. He was strong and slightly built, with engaging eyes and a first impression that could range from GQ style to vagabond, depending on where and when you met him. “Ryan did not step to the beat of a different drummer, he was the drummer in his life,” mother Ruth Johnson said. As a young man, he climbed in Yosemite, the Canadian Rockies, the Desert Southwest and the Cascades becoming increasingly skilled. In 2005 he and partner Stefan Ricci made a 51hour ascent of the Cassin Ridge on Denali, with a round trip of 84 hours from base camp to base camp. He went on expeditions to Kyzyl Asker in Kyrgyzstan and the Himalayas. “There is a moment early in the morning,” Ryan wrote recently, “where I’ve found myself high on a snow-covered ridge having just pulled over the top of a face or skinning to a fresh line. I am with a good friend and there is less ahead than there is behind and a new day is dawning. The air is filled with potential energy; who knows what the day has in store? This is my favorite moment in life.” George Ryan Johnson was born in Juneau April 29, 1983, a beautiful spring day. He was the youngest of Ruth and Steve Johnson’s three sons. He spent early childhood in tiny Meyers Chuck surrounded by the forest and sea, where his parents operated a general store and he developed an independent and adventurous spirit. His family returned to Juneau in 1990. Ryan was on the swim team until he was
17, and spent his senior year as an exchange student in Finland. He graduated from Juneau Douglas High School in 2002. He attended the University of Montana and the University of Alaska, but the mountains were his favorite classroom. He devoted most of his free time and resources to rock and ice climbing, traveling to the Himalayas when he was just 21. In 2008 he won the Muggs Stump alpine climbing award given annually to climbers that exemplify fast, light. and clean tactics. In 2018 he received the American Alpine Club Cutting Edge Grant for a climb that would have begun in April on the 7,200-foot face of Mt. Hayes. When his son Milo Timothy Johnson was born in 2015, Ryan told his parents that being a father was the only experience he’d had that “lived up to the hype.” He adored Milo and his new role as a father. Milo’s mother, Ryan’s dear friend and former partner, is Magy Elliott. Fellow climber Samuel Johnson (no relation) said Ryan was a great climbing partner, and a thoughtful, caring friend. “He was always there for me when it counted, whether it be to shield me from falling ice, suffer together through interminable open bivies, as my best man, or as a coach through some of the tough decisions of early fatherhood,” he wrote in a tribute to Ryan in Ice and Rock magazine. Ryan also worked in mining and construction, most recently for Dawson Construction and Peak Construction in Juneau. In 2016 he opened Tongass Fitness, a private gym. He was preceded in death by grandparents Elizabeth Shackelford; G. Verne and Claire Johnson. He is survived by his son Milo Timothy Johnson, parents, Steve and Ruth Johnson, brothers Matthew Subotnick and Joshua Johnson, grandfather Bill Shackelford; numerous aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, and nephews, and many friends in Juneau and the climbing community.

Linda Diane Bedal
December 10, 1941- February 27, 2018 Linda Diane Bedal lost her battle with cancer on February 27, 2018. Linda was born to parents James H. Smith Jr. and Eva Maxine Smith on December 10, 1941 during a WWII blackout in Hollywood, California just three days after the attack on Pearl Harbor. She grew up alongside her younger brother, Jan Keith Smith, in Sherman Oaks and Canoga Park. She graduated from Canoga Park High School and received a B.A. from Northridge College (now CSUN). After college, she moved to the San Francisco Bay Area where she worked as a graphic artist. She won several awards for her designs of textbook covers for Stanford University Press. She returned to Southern California in 1969 to become a wife and mother. She and her husband, Robert, settled first in Thousand Oaks and later Simi Valley where she assisted him in his construction business. Later, when her daughter was of school-age, she returned to the workforce, designing and selling advertising copy for the Simi Valley PennySaver. In 1982, as a divorced and single mother, she moved to Ventura, California where she became a sales representative for the Ventura Star-Free Press. In 1988, she followed her daughter, Amy, to Northern California where she worked for the Daily Republic in
Fairfield. In 1994, she moved to Alaska, again to be closer to her daughter. She worked and lived in both Juneau and Anchorage. In Juneau, she worked for KJNO radio where she became involved in community service –serving on both the Chamber of Commerce and with the March of Dimes. In Anchorage, she worked for the GreatLander, an advertiser sheet focused on the needs of Bush Alaska. Linda was a very social, kind, and ethical person making her a favorite of both her coworkers and her clients. Over the years, she served as a caregiver to her daughter, her brother, and her father all while supporting herself on commission sales. In 2013, she relocated once again, this time from Anchorage to Honolulu to live with her daughter and enjoy a well-deserved retirement. Sadly, she spent the last two years of her life battling an especially aggressive form of lymphoma. Many at the Seattle Cancer Care Alliance knew her for her strength and joyous countenance—often being mistaken for a caregiver instead of a patient. She is survived by her only child, Amy Sharron Bedal of Honolulu, Hawaii, and is buried at Ivy Lawn Cemetery in Ventura, California.
