Chris,
You and your family are always in my thoughts and prayers. I have fond memories of flight school. You were the life of the party for sure! There was never a dull moment when you were around. I cannot imagine how much your family misses you. People like you are rare these days.
This Memorial Day my girls and I have decorated a Memorial Day tree in honor of all of the fallen servicemen and women and I am adding your name to the branches. It is the first year we have done so but I think I will continue the tradition. I would like my girls to grow up knowing Memorial Day is more than just an excuse to have a bbq.

In Memory of Christopher ~ (Debra Estep)
August 14, 2008
Holding you all in my thoughts and prayers.
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 Christopher, but I am remembering
his service. He is my hero. !

The Other Side
i'm over on the other side
where life and death softly divide.
left my skin and bones behind
now i'm over on the other side.
can you feel me there with you?
my breath is gone but i'm not through.
loved you then and i still do
from over on the other side.
i can fly. really fly.
below the earth ... all through the sky.
tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side.
it's good here on the other side.
the sweetest songs...the bluest skies.
thank you for the tears you cried
but it's good here on the other side.
i can fly. really fly. below the earth...all through the sky.
tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side
the world is smaller than a needle's eye.
where life and death softly divide.
when you leave your skin and bones behind
i'll be waiting on the other side.
i can fly. really fly. below the earth ... all through the sky.
go tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side.

Chris,
It's been almost one year since you left us brother. It has taken me this long to gather the words of your untimely misfortune. I think of you everyday, most of the time to tears. I speak to Vivian quite often, I know you would do the same for me brother. I'll miss you dearly; one day we'll reunite brother and share the laughs we always had.

Chris, God bless you soldier and thank you for your brave and honorable service to a grateful nation and for paying the ultimate price for our freedom.. You are now in great company with God and so many other fallen hero's before and after you. On 5/6/08 my nephew PFC Aaron J. Ward was killed in action in Iraq and my final promise to him was to never forget him and our fallen hero’s, we will never forget their commitment and sacrifice. Johnson family, words cannot express the pain we now share, but our families will forever have a bond and we will be thinking of Chris and your family and will keep you in our thoughts & prayers. Please accept my heart felt condolences and my prayer that god help you cope with this tragic loss and may the memories of your HERO carry you through each day. From one Gold Star family to another!

To the Johnson family,
I know there are no words to say, except how sorry I am for your loss. May you hold Christophers' memory in your heart and please remember he shall never be forgotten.
...For you every single soldier
Those who served so honorable
Your life was forever altered
While I’m home safe and free
I stand with grateful admiration
I stand respectful and so proud
I know I’m only a civilian
And I don’t even know if it’s allowed.
But I salute you; allow me the honor
to salute you with permission let me say
Even though I hold no rank know that from my heart
My humble gratitude comes from the deepest part.
I salute you.

Dear Family of Chris Johnson, Today is the memorial service at Ft. Wainwright in Fairbanks, Alaska for Chris and his fallen commrades. Only the immediate families and his military family were allowed. But please know that you are in my thoughts this day as you have been these last 23 days when I heard the news of his untimely death in Iraq. Chris and his family attended our church for a time here this last year in North Pole, and he was faithful to give of his time and resources to our church family. It was a joy to get to know Chris and have him and his young family in our home for supper after service. They reciprocated with a lovely afternoon dinner at their home a month or so later. What a nice time. We hoped to see Chris again when his tour was over in 2008 October. Now we look forward to seeing him in our heavenly home where he patiently waits for his loved ones. You are in our prayers and will not be forgotten for your incredible sacrifice that you've had to make. Sincerely,
Doug Diekman

My heart goes out to the Johnson family. Mr. and Mrs. Johnson, it was always great to hear the updates on Chris when Dean would tell all of us guys about Chris' military success. Chris will be remembered for not only just being a great kid, but always giving his all, from playing football in the front yard at Kooiker's in Grandville, to serving his country. You all have been and will continue to be in our thoughts and prayers.

To the parents of Christopher, I would like to extend my heart felt sorrow as I know what you are going through and what you will yet go through in the coming weeks. I too am the mother of another fallen soldier and with God's continued support in my life I try to reach out to other who might need the support of someone who has been where you are. I want to offer you the support you may need to contact me anytime so that you may vent, talk or just seek comfort I am here for you. As a Gold Star Mother I've reached out through God's blessings to many across the country and we have a good support group. May God continue to give you and your family the love, comfort and healing that you need. In memory of my son SPC Harry (Buck) Winkler III KIA Samarra, Iraq November 12, 2006

The Prayer of Saint Francis of Assisi
Lord, make me an instrument of your peace,
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
where there is injury, pardon;
where there is doubt, faith;
where there is despair, hope;
where there is darkness, light;
where there is sadness, joy;
O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek
to be consoled as to console;
to be understood as to understand;
to be loved as to love.
For it is in giving that we receive;
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned;
and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.
Amen.

Chris, RIP my friend. You were one of the nicest men and friends that I have met in my life. I will never forget you. You are the 3rd pilot fallen from our 04-24 WOCS class. May your wife and family remember your kindness and bravery.
For those of you who don't know, Chris was also a green beret in the special forces prior to attending flight school.
What a great loss to our nation.

My thoughts and prayers are with Chris' family and friends. I went to flight school with Chris. He lived about 10 doors down from me in Daleville. He was a great guy with a magnetic personality. He was one of those people you loved to be around because he was always cracking jokes and in good spirits. He was a genuine person who will be missed dearly.

GOD BLESS YOU
August 17, 2007
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!!

I am Deeply Saddened to learn of the loss of Chief Warrant Officer Christopher C. Johnson. The Price this Brave Young Soldier and his family have paid for this country and for freedom, Will Never Be Forgotten.
May Christopher rest safely now, in the Loving Care of God and may the Grace and Comfort of the Lord be with the Johnson family.
There will Never Be Enough Ways to Humbly Thank these Heroes for their Sacrifices, my brother among them. Killed in action in Vietnam in 1967.
"Cast thy burden upon the Lord,
and He shall sustain thee."

Hoping you can feel the thoughts of caring and support that surround you today and in the days ahead, as this Country mourns with you, for Someone Very Precious to you, Who Is A True American Hero to all of us.
You are in my thoughts and prayers.
