Johnson, a Vermont native, will arrive at McHoul Funeral Home, 1089 Main St., in Fishkill, around 1 p.m. Wednesday accompanied by a motorcade and be transferred to another vehicle for a trip to Stewart Air National Guard Base for a military ceremony, said Doug McHoul, of McHoul Funeral Homes.
Johnson was one of 15 Marines and one Navy corpsman killed when the aircraft he was aboard crashed in Mississippi on July 10. Nine of the Marines were based at Stewart in Newburgh.
State police said drivers should expect intermittent road closures on Main Street in the Village of Fishkill, and on Route 52, during the procession.
Following the service at Stewart, Johnson's body will be brought back to the funeral home, McHoul said.
Calling hours will be held from 10 a.m. to noon Thursday at McHoul Funeral Home and are open to the public, he added.
After the calling hours, an honor guard ceremony with full military honors will be held in front of the funeral home, McHoul said.
Main Street will be closed during the service.
