I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I lost my nephew on July 29 in Afghanistan also. I know your complete and utter disbelief and pain. Your soldier was a true hero to our country. Rest in peace Timothy Johnson and thank you for your service.

I wish to convey my condolences to the family and friends of SPC Johnson. I cannot feel your deepest sorrows, however, as an Army veteran it saddens my heart each time I learn of a fellow military brother's passing. Rest assured that as long as I walk this earth his passing will not be in vain and shall not be forgotten. Good night fellow soldier and rest easy. We have your back down here and will Charlie-Mike in your absence...

Timothy...God received u w/ open arms. I'm at a loss for words... Baby brother, that's where I will begin. I've known u for what seems like a lifetime now (21 yrs). I've seen u go through many ups & downs, survive a huge loss and become an amazing young man. I'm so proud of u & all u've accomplished. Life is not always fair (a lesson hard learned this year), this is true but God takes the good ones young. Another lesson learned this year... I know there are NO words that will make it all better, no way of lessening the pain we all feel over the loss of u & absolutely no way to make this loss easier on anyone. I pray for u, I pray for your wife, I pray for Mama, I pray for Nesh, I pray for Thomas, Patricia, Val, and the whole family, as well as all wsho were lucky enough to have been a part of your life. we will forever miss u, Timmy. Love u Baby bro. Give grandmother, grandfather, Kenny (dad) & my baby Devin. Til we meet again...
