Aaron Johnson Obituary

Aaron Patrick Johnson, 23, of Phoenix died early Saturday morning, August 2, 2008. He was born in Laramie, Wyoming on April 14, 1985. He will be greatly missed by his son Aidan, brother and best friend Conor, parents Cindy & Shannon Johnson, wife Brenda, grand-parents Bob & Shirley Lineweber and Joe & Corky Dill all of Casper, Wyoming; Aunts & Uncles Mike & Linda Johnson, Yuma, Sherri & Joe Stout, Casper, Bill & Rogene Lineweber, Beatrice, Nebraska, Tom & Kryss Lineweber, Casper; and many, many cousins and friends.

He challenged us to examine life from that perspective. Those who knew Aaron will mourn him now & miss him forever. Funeral service on Thursday August 7 at 4pm at Resurrection Lutheran Church, 4930 E. Greenway Rd, Scottsdale, AZ. Wake to follow services at the Johnson Family Home.

I had wondered whatever had happened to an old seasonal best friend. I have searched the web before, but only now did I find him. I wish it were not in this manner. I was hoping to have been able to meet him again one day.

Mr. and Mrs. Johnson, and to Connor, I am truly sorry. I am at a lack of words. In a world full of shadows of apathy, he was like the noon-day sun when I knew him. Lucky for us, memories don't die.

Cindy, Shannon and Conor - Our deepest sympathy to you and your family during this tragic time in your lives. Aaron was the first friend that Kyle made in Arizona when we moved here. Nine short years ago this week Aaron was on vacation with us in San Diego....I can still see him, Kyle and Eric on the beach. We'll always remember Aaron, the good times and his wonderful smile.
