Johnnie Max Northcott

Johnnie Max Northcott transitioned from this earthly life on October 26, 2022, while residing in the Anchorage Pioneer Home. Prior to moving to the Anchorage Pioneer Home in 2019, he was a long-term resident of Wasilla, Alaska and lived in a house in the woods that he and his father had designed and constructed. He was born in Guthrie, Oklahoma on August 17, 1944, to John Bennie Northcott and Eva Maxine Northcott. Johnnie had fond memories of his family and relatives growing up in Oklahoma. His family later moved to Farmington, New Mexico where John graduated from high school. In the early 1960’s Johnnie’s family relocated to Alaska. Johnnie was in Alaska for the 1964 earthquake and assisted residents with salvaging possessions from the wreckage of the earthquake and volunteered as a night watchman on damaged businesses along 4th Avenue in Anchorage. Johnnie’s loves were family and friends; Alaskan art; gardening; and travel. He had traveled to all 50 states and most foreign countries. He was very happy when he completed the second leg of a cruise around the world. His work life took him all over the globe on construction projects. In Alaska he worked on the Alaska Railroad, Research Lab at Barrow, a customs house brokerage business and many commercial positions for oil and gas construction projects as well as field operations. Johnnie was preceded in death by his parents; sisters, Benjean (Doyle) Rogers and Phyllis Polly; nephews, Jeffrey Rogers and Ryan Northcott. He is survived by nephew, James Rogers (Susan); niece, K Michelle Boudry (Rob) and great nieces and nephews: Natasha Anthony, Michael Rogers, Corinna Northcott, Justice Northcott, and Liberty Northcott. Cremation has taken place. A celebration of his life will be held at the Petroleum Club of Anchorage on December 2, 2022, from 4:30 to 6:30 PM.
