Hello,
We wanted to let you know that we will be honoring and remembering your loved one this holiday season. We are sending Care Packages to our deployed troops in his name. Each package will carry the name, photo, service branch, rank and hometown of Ty J. Johnson US Army Specialist.
We realize that this is a small tribute, but we do this with all respect and sincerity and we want you to know that it is made possible by thousands of like-minded individuals from across the American youth hockey community, our family, friends and many others who support our mission.
We will not forget. May God Bless you and keep you safe and strong.
Sincerely,
Charlie Gili & Family

I was in Ty's Company, on Camp Bernstein when he passed. We knew each other, spoke on several occasions. None of us could believe what had happened. We had watched so many injured badly up to this point.. but none of our own brothers had lost their lives. We were all devastated and all who knew him will be scarred for the rest of our lives. Upon our return we held a memorial for Ty. Looking his wife and children in the eye and seeing their pain was palpable. I will never forget that moment, nor the feeling of sadness. RIP my friend.

My hearts and prayers to the family of Ty-Ty was loved so much. My husband speaks of him quite often and he is a constant thought. The other night as I lie awake trying to fall asleep- my husband begins opening up with an outpour of emotion. I knew over the years he was struggling with losing Ty- but I had no idea it was as deep as it was. He loved and cared for him so much. Although they were brothers in arms- Ty was like his son. My husband showed me this page that night he was flooded with emotion so days later I return here to write this only to find he left a message as well. I pray that your wounded hearts and minds are binded. I celebrate your son and I am truly grateful for his service. He will never be forgotten. ❤

Cpl "J" and I met at BN HQ's, he was the Sergeant Major's driver. Every time I headed that way, he was there. We hit it off from our very first conversation. Cpl J was very respectful and a pleasant person/soldier to be around. Most of my counseling to him was on military and marriage. Hope he didn't listen to me on the marriage stuff! We talked liked we'd known each other all our lives. The last time Cpl "J" and I spoke was on FOB BERNSTEIN. The convoy he was with stopped there on April 4th. I was the Platoon Sergeant at the time. I saw Cpl J over by the bunker that had internet services and goodies to buy. We gave each other some "dap" (hand shake) and caught up on what was going on. There were three of us there at the front of the bunker, laughing and talking. The convoy was ready to leave towards Warrior Base, where the main body was. We "dapped" out, told him to take it easy and see ya when I see ya. Shortly after the vehicles left, we got alerted of what happened to the convoy. Cpl J has been a constant thought in my mind. I play that day over and over again in my mind. I can see his face, I can hear his voice. Always talking about his wife and kids and his family. Cpl J spoke about protecting his family and his country. He couldn't wait to ETS out of military when his time came. I took to Cpl J as if he were my own Son. I know his physical presence is gone but his spirit is forever within me! Good people are so hard to come by these days, I am so BLESSED to have known Cpl "J"! I saw a lot of me in him, a man doing what he needed to do for his family and his counyry. Upon leaving Iraq, the Commmand Sergeant Major pulled me to the side and told me what happened with the incident. We cried and we remembered his goodness, the Goodness that GOD calls all of his children to have, whether one believes in him or not. Cpl "Johnson represented in true fashion! I retired in 2009, deployed with 101st in Dessert Shield/Storm, and again in 2003-2004 and 2005-2006; OIE/OEF. While on vehicle patrol, I saw an IED explode under the hummv in front of me. That day, and April 4th, haunt me to this very day. I feel guilty about April 4th, I've asked GOD over and over why not me instead. I don't have the answer as to why. I'm stuck in that moment, right before receiving the word on what happened. I'm being helped and working on letting Cpl J go, it's difficult and my mind wants to hold on to him, there on FOB BERNSTEIN. I hope that you his wife, children, mother, father, family are at a peaceful place with Cpl J. He has earned his sleep, we all have to get there, it's a part of the journey we are on. The flesh wants to live forever but it's the spirit that will always lives on, as long as we remember! Forever my "Brother" Corporal "J". See ya when I see ya in the next life! - Balls Of The Eagle 2/230th FAR, Hooah!!!!

Ty,
Running around in the middle of the night with you & Jeremy is one of my happiest high school memories. I always waited in anticipation for that "tap tap tap" on my window in the middle of the night to know that we were about to embark on an adventure. Hanging out at Jeremy's, driving the canyon or having you scare me something awful over at that old building off Dimple Dell -- it was never a dull moment.
I am happy to know that you ended up doing such incredible things in your short life. I imagine your kids having that same mischevious "ready for anything" grin. That smile is what I will always remember the most.

To my Son,
We miss you so. Not an hour goes by that we don't remember your laugh, smile or touch. You are always in our thoughts. We wish you could see the beautiful children you have, and were here to see them grow. They are so much like you.

Holding you all in my thoughts and prayers today.
The Wind on The Downs
“I like to think of you as brown and tall,
As strong and living as you used to be,
In khaki tunic, Sam Brown belt and all,
And standing there and laughing down at me.
Because they tell me, dear, that you are dead,
Because I can no longer see your face,
You have not died, it is not true, instead
You seek adventure in some other place.
That you are round about me, I believe;
I hear you laughing as you used to do,
Yet loving all the things I think of you;
And knowing you are happy, should I grieve?
You follow and are watchful where I go.”
(Written by Marian Allen during World War l )
Two lines that I wish you to keep near your heart…….
“You seek adventure in some other place.
That you are round about me, I believe”
I did not know Ty, but he is my hero. If you would like

There is nothing that I can say or do to take away the pain or bring you peace in your time of sorrow, but I will offer you and your family my heart felt condolences. I also offer you my prayers that in time the pain will easy and the memories of your HERO will carry you through each day and night. I want to thank your HERO, for his/her selfless act of becoming a member of the armed forces, his/her willingness to defend the United States of America, all that we hold sacred and for the sacrifice that will forever be etched in the memories of all those who knew him/her. Though tears can never bring him/her back, we hope that our tears express our gratitude for the sacrifice that he/she made and our sorrow at his/her passing. I believe for every fallen HERO there is a star shining brightly up above to remind us of the precious gift we were given.
Your mission on earth is complete and you are now a member of GOD’s Heavenly armed forces. Stand down brave warrior and take your rightful place in Heaven with all the HEROES who have passed before.
I made a special promise to LE RON A. WILSON, a dear family friend who joined the Army with three other friends, one of whom is my son (Le Ron was killed in action on 07/06/07 at the age of 18) on the day he was laid to rest as I touched his coffin, that I would never forget him nor would I forget those that gave their lives for our country before him, with him and after him and so when I came across www.legacy.com, I thought what a great way to keep my promise to Le Ron, so I will continue to leave tributes in each guest book until the day there is no longer the need to leave these tributes to a FALLEN HERO.
REST IN PEACE, HERO, YOU WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN!!

Douglas MacArthur was only half correct in his quote...
"The soldier above all others prays for peace, for it is the soldier who must suffer and bear the deepest wounds and scars of war."
For the Johnson family, you have suffered and bore a loss that only other lost soldier's family have felt. I sincerely hope that the time has helped you endure since Ty's sacrifice for country, honor and duty.
We thank Ty and your family for helping to keep our family as well as America safe. We pray that you have or will soon find peace in your lives. Ty will not be forgotten as he lives on in his beautiful children.
God Bless You Ty and all of your family !

I did not know Ty, but I live in Vacaville and am a huge supporter of our troops. I came upon this site through our local paper, The Reporter. I was shocked to hear of his passing, since it just happened not too long ago.
I want to thank Ty for his courage in fighting for our country...and I want to send out my heartfelt prayers to his family. Please know that people may not of known him, but we loved him, because of who he was and what he stood for. I wish there was more I could do, but this is the best way for me to deal with the sadness I feel everytime I hear we lose another soldier...God Bless you and yours and God Bless America. He will be with you always...

I was gathering names for a memorial day service at the request of my Pastor, I found Ty's name and read a little about him, saw the photo of him and his two babies.
I am so sorry for your loss and I wanted to sign this book as my way of saying thank you to Ty and for his service and to express my deepest condolences to his family.
I know words from a stranger might not mean much, but I also wanted you to know that people care, people are moved over these losses, and to show that these brave men are not just names. Ty is a HERO in my book!
May God bless your family in the days and years to come, I will personally pray for your family.

We are very sad for your loss and the loss this brings to our community. As friends of Ty and Blake it was very hard to hear the news. Although we had not been in contact with either of the boys for a long time, we still feel very close, as much of Jordan alumni do. We are very thankful for Ty's service to protect our little family and those across the country, what a big responsibility he took on. We think of Ty and Blake often and will keep them and thier loved ones in our prayers for a lifetime.

Dear Lisa and Johnson Family,
Please accept my deepest and sincere condolences in the loss of Ty. My heart just broke when I heard the news of his death. My daughter Kami grew up with Ty and Blake, going to Sprucewood and Indian Hills. Although, we lost touch over the years, I was heart broken when I heard about Ty. I am so sorry for his loss. Lisa, I can't even imagine your pain and sorrow, but what a proud Mother you must be for the man, husband, father and hero Ty grew up to be. Thank you SPC Ty J. Johnson, a TRUE American hero. You will always be remembered. God bless.

Dear Johnsons,
I don't have words to express my sorrow. I didn't know Ty as a man, but I knew him as a child. I can see him sitting at my kitchen table, grinning. He grew to a man of courage, who placed himself in harm's way, to keep others from harm. Lisa, I'm so sorry this has come to you. Our children were young together, and Ty was one of my little ones.

To the family of Spec. Ty Johnson,
Many of you do not know me, I grew up on Arlo Ave. in Sandy, Ut just two houses west and across the street from Ty's Grandparents. I use to play neighborhood sports activities with Ty's uncle (Wayne). I have been in the U.S. Air Force for 24 years and am planning on retiring around my 30 year mark. As a member of the Hill AFB, Honor Guard, I would like to pass on my heart felt condolences and thanks to every member of Ty's family. May God bless your family in this time of great loss. The world is at a great loss too. You should all be incredibly proud of Ty's service to his country. I never had the honor of meeting Ty, but I would like to thank him for his service. He paid the ultimate price trying to make this world a much better place for all to live in. His service will never be known, or understood by many, but will be appreciated and enjoyed by countless others for generations to come as he has helped to sustain our freedoms and quality of life we have in America. To Ty's immediate family, a service members' family must go through very hard times and give up a lot while their loved ones are overseas serving. Thank you so much for your sacrifices and allowing Ty to serve this great country. May God bless all of you.

To the Family of Spc. Ty J. Johnson:
My heart breaks again as I sign yet another guest book of another courgeous young soldier who gave their life so selflessly. I wish I never found myself in a position to have to sign another guestbook for the rest of my life. We lost our son 12/1/05.
I know first hand there are no words right now that will bring you the comfort and peace you need. Just know that you are not alone. My heart, thoughts, and prayers are with you all as you mourn this loss. We don't know each other, will probably never meet, but will forever be united in the loss of our Heroes. We have, unfortunately joined a group none of us wanted to join, an ever-growing group of families in this situation. May God grant you peace and strength to get through this and be able once again to smile at a memory rather than have only the tears that flow so easily now. To be so proud of your loved one and so saddened at the same time is a mix of emotions very difficult to deal with. I am sorry that I never knew your soldier personally, but none of these courageous men and women will be forgotten. They will never be able to be replaced, but sometime, someday your loving memories will help to sustain you. This courageous soldier will forever now be your Angel watching over you all for the rest of your lives. It's what brings me some measure of peace and comfort and I hope it will you as well. To his family and friends in pain, I offer this comfort. When you find yourself in that dark sorrowful place, think not only of how you will miss him, but instead recall the years, days, hours and minutes gifted to you by his presence. If you ever want to talk, I'm only an e:mail away and would love for you to tell me more about your Hero. God Bless this courageous soldier and family.
