Michael Robert "Mike" Johnson

I cannot believe it will be 18 years since I heard your voice, hugged your neck or squeezed your hand! I miss you so much! You were my 1st best friend. I miss our brother sister banter! Love you Mikie!

A reminder for your guestbook just popped up in my email. I miss you so much! Our jokes, your laugh, your hugs...just miss it all! You should see Tyler now...hes grown up so much. You would have so much fun with him!!!! Miss you everyday...love you even more!

I just found out today. I know its been years since we've had contact because I moved, but it hurts the same. Rest in peace my friend. Kyle Buchanan

Forever thinking of you, Cuz.

Mike, Your memories will live on with us forever. I find myself reverting to your image and likeness at times that remind me of your personna. God Bless

Time passes but it doesn't remove our friendship. I think of "Big" Mike often and miss his way of making the tough times funny. I know heaven has a lot of laughter. I miss ya Mike. Keep fishing- Joe

It has been 8 months to the day that Baby Serena Marlene joined Uncle Mike in Heaven - I know that my baby is in the best of hands there, and that you are looking over Victoria and I - You were my best friend and I miss you more than words can tell. Just last week I had to break the news of your passing to a customer at the store, whom you always took the time to help, you are missed not only in our family, but in our community. God Bless - Love, Andra Oshman

Bob & Kathy-It has been many years since we have seen each other but I just heard about Mike's death. I have many fond memories of spending time with your family and how welcoming each of you were. Some of my greatest memories are of our Robious football days. I think of then often and how much I enjoyed playing with Mike and for you Bob. I hope time has healed the pain of Mike's loss. He was always a great friend that I wish I had not lost touch with. Hope you all are well.

Dear Bob& Kathy,
I recently heard about big Mike and i was shocked. In the short 1 yr I knew him we hit it off from day 1. we are both from Bpt, CT, played linebacker, bodybuilded, loved fishing, if you remember he called me while he was with you asking me my aunts name Claire Goldman who lived accross the street from Gramma on Stillson Rd. He invited me to come visit and go fishing. we were going to go to the Mr. Olympia together but my Mom passed away and her funeral was that weekend so i had to go to CT and didnt call him the week before he passed. I lost 2 friends that week too that Mike knew from the industry. God must of been recruiting the best team for Heaven that week is all I can say. We had great times together and he wanted so bad to strive in life. When we last spoke and he wanted me to get him a sponsor being in the Sports Nutrition industry after his accident and make the miracle recovery comeback of a lifetime and document it and get him published in magazines, and he was destined to get back on stage again. I must say he was a fearless trooper and I told him nothing would stop him in life with his determination. He laughed after the cop told him after seeing his car that he was so strong and lucky to pull out of that car like he did. Thats just Mike. I left Orlando when he did to help my Mom and he seemed so happy to get a fresh start and reside in Carolina to have new opportunities and create success. Sorry I just heard but my sincere condolences go out to your family and Mike will be missed by myself and all those he touched and who he associated with. I hope he leaves us some of his strength behind. I truly believe there is a heaven and he's now at peace. He still accomplished more in his short but precious lifetime than some can dream about for many yrs. Mike my prayers are with ya buddy. Sincerely, Russ Greenberg

You were such a very special person and for that I will always be grateful meeting such a dear friend of Ryan's. You will be missed.

I Thank You both for blessing this earth by having such an amazing son that I was able to share a large part of my life with.He blessed my life in so many ways and made me such a better person.

I Love you Bob and Kathy and I pray for you guys daily that god will truly give you the peace that passes all understanding, that is god's promise to us. Phillipians 4:7

hey bro you are very missed.you were always like a brother to me. we never did get a chane to compete on the same stage together but everytime i get on stage i know you'll be there.

Mike you touched more lives then you ever realized. My best friend and Victoria's Uncle Mike will be missed terribly, but NEVER forgotten. The clubhouse is a lonely place without you. You & your family will always be in my prayers, I still cant believe the chance to return your call is gone. I know that you are at peace now, you know you deserved NO less than that! xoxoxo

Missing you greatly!

We are so sorry for your loss and pray that God will help you find peace and strength during these tough times. Dad said that the service and celebration of Michael's life was truly beautiful and we're sorry we were unable to make the trip. Please take care of each other, you are in our prayers.

Love and God bless, Sarah & Mary Johnson

Michael and family... we saw your obit in the RTD and were so sad... our sympathy goes out to your family.. we remember you well at HA.. Mr. Pleasants and Mrs. Manley shared your obit with me and then Jennifer Nixon and Wendy Cashion sent me a copy as well...

Mike-I know you made it home to the lord. You will be missed by many.You were a great person I looked up to you and i am very sad to see you go. I am thankful for the time the lord gave us to get to know you. I know i will see you again oneday.

True kindness is a hard thing to hide and despite the turbulence in your life it radiated outward from you, the world seems less for its loss. You will be remembered.

My family will always remember Mike as a Robious Buc on the undefeated and unscored upon Minors team,coached by his dad,many years ago.Our son Rob and one of the Sanders twins are already up there waiting for a reunion. God will give you all strength to carry on - you all are in our prayers.
