Marcus Allen Johns

Marcus Johns passed away unexpectedly October 1, 2025 at his home in Tarzana. Over his lifetime, he lived in Idaho Falls, ID, Chicago, IL, San Diego & various cities in the greater Los Angeles area. Possessed of real-estate savvy & a talented decorator, his homes were always gracious & welcoming. Most of his career revolved around packaging design & graphic arts, at both of which he excelled. He loved animals & art & surrounded himself with them.

In 2013, he married Louis Palley, the love of his life, who predeceased him by 18 months. Marcus & Louis traveled extensively, loved cars & doted on their dogs. Marcus enjoyed gardening & his roses were his bragging rights. He also was crazy about chocolate.

Marcus was the glue that held his family together. Family & heritage were important to him & when someone needed help, Marcus always reached out to them. Marcus looked at his world as a whimsical, magical place where sometimes wishes would come true.

He is survived by his sister Margaret Page, his two brothers Matthew & Martin Johns, his sisters-in-law Cathy & Linda Johns, 14 nieces & nephews, & his miniature poodle mix Rosie. A Celebration of Life will be announced later.
