To the Family of Kevin Johnson

Words cannot adequately express my heartfelt sympathy for your loss. Deacon Kevin Johnson was a wonderful friend and devoted Christian. He was not ashamed to proclaim his love for the Lord. We often prayed together and I will always remember his words: "I will keep running on to see what the end will be".
God Bless your soul, Kevin. You will truly be missed by many.

To The Johnson Family:

May God comfort and strengthen you during your time of loss. Kevin fought a good fight and he kept the faith and God has laid up for him a righteous crown. Kevin knew where he was going. He was prepared and ready to go home to be with his Heavenly Father. Kevin told us that. God saw Kevin getting weary and tired and call him home. I am confident in knowing, God is too wise to make a mistake. Kevin doesn't have to suffer anymore. He has a new body and is praising God in it. Kevin touched my live and my heart because of his great love for God. He didn’t just talk God but He walked it out in front of us. I thank God for his authenticity and compassionate. For the opportunity to have known such a “man of God” I give God praise. Thank you Lord! I will truly miss Kevin.

Farewell Kevin! Farewell. See you on the other side.
