DALLAS Mark Johnson, past president of the Dallas Ad League, lost his battle to cancer, dying last Friday at the age of 58, the organization said.

Johnson, a retired advertising manager for The Wall Street Journal‘s Southwest region, served as DAL president from 1997-98 and treasurer from 1998-99.

Credited with revitalizing the DAL in the mid-’90s, Johnson volunteered to take up the vacated post of first vice president in 1996, which led to his run as president a year later, the association said.
