Wright Johnson Obituary

Wright Samuel Johnson The loving son of Walter E. Johnson II and Melinda Adams Johnson passed away unexpectedly on May 10, 2014 in Tucson, Arizona. He was 18 years old. Wright was looking forward to starting college this summer in Prescott, Arizona. He is survived by parents, Walter and Melinda; sisters, Bridget and Tessa; grandmother, Patricia Adams, Tucson; cousin, Olivia Larsen; aunts and uncles, John Adams, Bridget Winsor (John), Susie La Bonde (Jerry), Leslie Buck (Bill), Michael Johnson (Joanie), Margaret Larsen (George) and numerous other cousins and loved ones. Wright and his sisters, Tessa and Bridget, had a very special bond, as they were triplets born on October 2, 1995. Although Wright's life was cut short, his friends and family were blessed to have known and loved this kind and intelligent young man for 18 years. His dreams of college and officer candidate school will remain just dreams. But the many happy memories of Wright will live on in the hearts of those who loved him. A Memorial Service will be held at 5:00 p.m. on Wednesday, May 14, 2014 at St. Michael's and All Angel's Episcopal Parish at 602 N. Wilmot Road in Tucson. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to Tu Nidito Children and Family Services at 3922 N. Mountain Ave., Tucson, AZ 85719. Arrangements by EVERGREEN MORTUARY.

Elegy

At a time of loss,
when heavy hearts prevail,
the fires of striving within our being
seek sanctuary from this confusion, this profound mystery;
our earthly travail.

Alas, the strength of our understanding
is yet too infirm.
We do not comprehend the design

I am so incredibly sorry for your loss. You do not know me but I knew Wright as he was a good friend of Brett's and they went to St. Joe's together. I lost my son 3 years ago and it was very similar. I am hear as mother of a child of God who was taken from me right before his birthday so I understand your shock and grief. I am here for you if you need me. I would be happy to listen to wonderful stories of your beloved son. I can be reached at [email protected]. All my love and understanding, I am devastated, I loved your son…so did Brett.

Though I only met Wright recently, I was blessed to see him grow so much. I was thrilled to get to see him perform with a couple of oldies (songs). He walked with confidence and stood tall and proud, as he had every right to. We once over argued over the meaning of a word, I being an English assumed that I was obviously right. After looking up the word, Wright turned out to be correct!!! What an intelligent young man. God bless you. My prayers are with your family.

We are mourning profoundly the loss of your beautiful Wright. Our hearts reach out to all of you. The gleam in his eyes, his striking smile, his unique expression will forever be with us. We love you all so very much, Dian, Patrick, Anno, and Julsy
