Although I only knew him for a few short months, while I was his Guide Leader in Ft. Lee, VA, I have many great memories of Johnson. He was at the top of the class, and was a great leader. He took his job very seriously, but at the same time had fun with it. Whenever another Marine needed help, he was on call. My condolences to his family and friends, on behalf of myself and the rest of his classmates.

If the Army and the Navy
Ever look on Heaven's scenes;
They will find the streets are guarded
By The United States Marines.

OooooRahhh and Rest In Peace Brother.

Our deepest sympathy goes out to you at this time. May you find some comfort in knowing that you're in the thoughts and prayers of many. As Almighty God is the Hearer of Prayers, we pray that you find fulfillment in these words recorded at Psalms 147:3: “He is healing the brokenhearted ones, And is binding up their painful spots.”

Kenneth Johnson was a great guy. I know he always had a smile on his face, and made people laugh. Good classmate, & friend. All the memories that I have of him have laughs. Thinking of them puts a smile on my face. He is missed dearly, and we will meet again someday.

Kenneth was a great friend, and awesome classmate. He was very bright, and happy person to be around. He would always ask his classmates and other students around him if they needed help. He always had jokes to tell, and would make everyone around him laugh. I would like to thank him for his hard work in the Marines. He will be greatly missed.
