Timothy “Timmy” S. Johnson was born in Truth or Consequences, NM on July 27, 1983, to Mickey Johnson and Roxanne Zagorski. He was raised by Roxanne and Tim Zagorski and passed away on January 30, 2022, in El Paso, TX.
He is survived by his parents, Tim and Roxanne Zagorski; sister, Niki Stultz and family; brothers: Michael Johnson and family, Jeremiah Johnson and family, Anthony Zagorski and family; his little BIG sister Ashlee Zagorski and family; and his chosen brother, Bradley Troxel and his entire family; grandmother, Hazel Johnson; as well as his soulmate, Rebecca Gentry and their son. He is also survived by numerous other nieces and nephews, aunts and uncles, cousins, friends and brothers and sisters from his Red, Gold and Blue families.
Timmy was a Volunteer Firefighter with the Truth or Consequences Fire Department for 18 years. He has been employed by Sierra County Regional Dispatch Authority (SCRDA) as a 911 Dispatcher since 2012, worked for the Office of the Medical Investigator (OMI) as the lead Deputy Medical Investigator for Sierra County, assisted at Kirikos Family Funeral Home and was also a past Reserve Police Officer for the Truth or Consequences Police Dept.
He loved his family and would spend hours playing video games with his family and friends. He also enjoyed hunting and fishing in his “Spare Time” as if he really had any. Timmy would often spend time with his nieces and nephews shopping, teaching them to drive and spoiling them to no end. He loved the Ghostbusters and collected everything he could get his hands on and was an avid Dallas Cowboys fan.
Most of you are not aware that many years ago, Timmy was in several pageants and won the Mr. Handsome pageant. He would travel to these pageants with his Nana and family members.
He was preceded in death by his grandparents, Harry and Imogene Fletcher; biological father, Harry M. Johnson; grandfather, Wayne Johnson, Sr.; and uncle, Henry Johnson.
Timmy will be deeply missed by all of us, and this is not good-bye, but we’ll see you again.

It was alway a pleasure working with you and talking to you. You were a great deputy medical investigator and a good friend. Thanks for always carrying and being such a nice person. We had many conversations and you were alway so compassionate. I will miss you and so will our mutual friends. I planned on attending but the weather did not permit travel today. May God bless you and may your family find comfort.
Our sincere condolences go out to Timothy's family and friends. His dedication to his community and the citizens of New Mexico was exemplary. We will truly miss him. Respectfully - his friends at the Office of the Medical Investigator

Timmy was one of the best people I've ever known. He had integrity, kindness, intelligence and a sweetness of spirit. He was raised by good people. Roxanne, I have known you and your family my whole life, this is like losing one of my own. I am grieving with you and Tim and all of your family. Love you so much, Donnie Cobleigh
SO LONG >>Timmy...........Ken..........
My Deepest Condolences go out to Timmy' family and coworkers and friends. Roxanne, We're here for you friend. I'll be praying for peace and understanding.
You were like Sierra Counties personal hobbit, with your second breakfast and 3rd dinners. Any time we had a fire call, I immediately breathed easier knowing you were the one toning us out, because you're one of few who actually know what they are doing. I was very privileged to have worked with you, late night graveyards, and my regret now is that I never went back like you kept asking me to, because I didn't get to spend more time with you. My heart hurts, knowing you won't be on the other end of the line anymore,I love you so much, and will miss you and your sarcasm. Who's going to call me Farm Girl when I talk to Dispatch now? 💔
In The Very Short Time I Know Tim He Had A Great Heart Of Gold n Would Do Anything n Everything For Anyone.... I Send My Condolences To The Family n Praying For These Hard Times.... Please Rest In Paradise Timmy 🙏🙏🙏🙏
It was an honor and a privilege to work along side him on fires and OMI scenes. He taught me a lot. Was always happy to hear him over the radio and to see him around town. Timmy, thank you for everything you've done for me and this community.
Tim was an outstanding investigator, and I truly enjoyed working with him. He served his community very well, and will truly be missed. Even though I retired from OMI, my family still lives in Sierra county.... I could always call him when I possibly needed words of encouragement. Rest in peace. You will be truly missed....
To the entire extended Zagorski family - having just gone through this I know words can never be enough. You are all in my thoughts and prayers and while the pain will never go away it will subside to some extent at some point in the future. Celebrate Timmy as he would have celebrated is the best I can advise.
The Fournier Family
You will always be an example of a good man. This world is not a better place without you.
There are no words. R5, copy your 10-42.
Our staff will continue to keep your family in our prayers. We thank you for allowing us to serve your family.
