Chase was my best friend. We were on the Cross Country team together. I'll admit this now I was always jealous of his hair. The most memorab;e thing we did together was when we were walking home from school, we were walking with our friend Connie and because we were gentleman, we were carrying her bags. Connie ran across the street to talk to ger friend casey and Chase said "Let's run!" so we ran a couple of blocks laughing the whole time. Connie yelled at us to stey there. So we kept on walking and made her catch up with us. SHe was so mad but it was worth it. I loved the kid and wish he was still here. You are always in my heart Chase, always.

I wasn't one of Chase's best friends. But, we were good friends. Chase, Nicole, and I always hung out with Chase on the weekends, we'd all go to Nicole's house. I remember all the pictures we took on the bridge.. and he almost fell... Chase, was always happy, and he was never down. He always had a huge smile on his face, and too me Chase had the cutest smile i've ever seen, and it'll never be forgotten.. Chase you mean so much to all of us, and we love and miss you so much! Rest in peace, Chase Kelly Johnson... Forever in our hearts.

I don't even know what to say here. I can't imagine what you're going through. I didn't know Chase well, but I have to say, when I saw him around school and the few times I saw him, he always made me smile, no matter what was wrong. Everyone at school and around him are who they are because of him. Everyone's life was affected by Chase somehow, he was an amazing kid and an amazing friend, he'll always be in our hearts. We will never forget you, Chase. you'll always be in our hearts. Rest in peace.

Chase always told me how his mom showed him how to condition his haird, he was so proud of it, and always let me know it. He loved showing off his clear retainers on his teeth, and would always ask if i could see them. Every memorie with Chase was of him smiling of laughing, i would not trade that for anything. I can not begin to express how sorry i am for your whole family, i just wanted to share my memories with him for you all, and let you know. He will be forever missed, and Always remembered.
