Meet the Manager

Steven J.

Manager

A first generation funeral director, I was raised in Wethersfield, a son of John T. and Lisa (Drake) Johnson. After graduating from Letchworth Central School, I began my formal education at GCC; graduating in 2005 with an Associates in Business Administration. Following GCC, I attended Mortuary School at SUNY Canton, graduating with high honor and a member of Phi Theta Kappa.

I completed my residency and earned my Funeral Director’s License in August of 2007. I joined the H.E. Turner & Co. team in January of 2011.

My wife, Jessica and I currently reside in Batavia. I currently serve on the Crossroads House Board of Directors, Genesee Cancer Assistance Board of Directors and the Advisory Board to SUNY Canton’s Mortuary Science Program. I am a past member of the Board of the Rochester Genesee Valley Funeral Director’s Association and the Committee for Continuing Education for New York State Funeral Director’s Association.

I also have been certified as a funeral celebrant.
