Abraham Joseph Stoneburner was born on September 24, 1977, in Des Moines, Iowa, and passed peacefully on April 8, 2026, at Nebraska University Medical Center, surrounded by his loved ones.

A time of visitation will be held on Thursday, April 16, 2026, from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. at Sunset Memorial Chapel, 7601 Fleur Drive, Des Moines, Iowa, where family and friends are invited to come together, offer support, and share in remembering Abraham’s life. A funeral service celebrating his life and the love he gave so freely will follow at 1:00 p.m., with burial at the adjacent Sunset Memorial Gardens. A luncheon will be held following the services for family and friends to gather and share memories.

Abraham was a devoted caregiver who always put others before himself, often setting aside his own passions for the sake of his family. His kindness, generosity, and selfless nature left a lasting impact on everyone who knew him.

He found great joy in cooking and loved making deep-fried tacos with the help of his mom. Abraham loved music, particularly Led Zeppelin and Peter Cetera, and enjoyed spending time fishing. He had a deep love for movies and was an avid Jeopardy! fan, reflecting his intelligence and quick mind. He was also a proud Kansas City Chiefs fan.

Above all, Abraham was the best older brother, a role he embraced with love and pride. He also cherished his cats—Boots, Scoot, Boogie, and Angel—who brought him comfort and companionship.

He is survived by his mother and stepfather, Monica and Brian Johnston; his younger brother, Brian (Casey) Johnston; niece Aurora, and a nephew on the way; his grandfather, Ines Burriola; his uncle, Tracy Stoneburner; and his cousin Ava Burriola, whom he loved like a little sister. He is also survived by many aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends who will miss him dearly.

Abraham will be remembered for his loving heart, his quiet strength, and the way he always showed up for the people he cared about. His memory will live on in all who were blessed to know him.
