We knew Mr. Johnson at Jordye Bacon Elem. We looked forward to seeing his smiling face every morning last year and he was always there waiting :) I'm so thankful that my son had the opportunity to know Mr. Johnson. We will never forget him.
To Mr. Johnson's family please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers in this difficult time and always.

I had the privilege of working with Mr. Johnson at the school. He found a way to pass along his cheerful smile or a laugh to others around him (colleagues and students alike). I can't remember ever leaving a conversation with him without smiling. His happy spirit touched all of us and he will be missed a lot! My sympathy and prayers go out to you and your family.

Nature
As a fond mother, when the day is o'er,
Leads by the hand her little child to bed,
Half willing, half reluctant to be led,
And leave his broken playthings on the floor,
Still gazing at them through the open door,
Nor wholly reassured and comforted
By promises of others in their stead,
Which, though more splendid, may not please him more;
So Nature deals with us, and takes away
Our playthings one by one, and by the hand
Leads us to rest so gently, that we go
Scarce knowing if we wish to go or stay,
Being too full of sleep to understand
How far the unknown transcends the what we know.

It is with deepest regret that we mourn the loss of Elder Johnson. He was a valuable asset to the local CASA Program, and his heart was there for the children. We could never thank him enough for his commitment to serving the youth of our community through his tireless efforts as a CASA volunteer. To the family we thank you for sharing him with us.

Greetings,
It is always sad to loose a friend, brother, father, husband, son, family member, or grand father. It's always reassuring to know that they took advantage of giving their life to Jesus. We thank God for this man of God who constantly strive to help others. May God strengthen you and carry you at this time of loss. Our family extends our deepest condolences to you.
In Christ,
