Hi all,
Here it is mid May allready and we are coming up on our spring highway clean up for Adam. Its Memorial weekend in case some of you don't know - Saturday at noon. We will be going up on Thusday night, so if you want to come early and make a long weekend of it, feel free to do so.
Remember to bring boots and gloves and of course, chainsaws, atv's, trucks' mountain bikes, fishing equipment, hiking equipment, campfire and hay ride apparel are all welcome and desired.
This year we will have horseshoes, bocce ball and other games going. Because of prior commitments last fall we weren't able to do the fall clean up so hopefully every one can make it this spring and we will have a bang up time. See you soon, Love Dan and Julie.

O Adam it's been almost 6 years now. 6 years since we stood up in front of your friends and family and gave our promises to each other. Adam 6 years ago I married my best friend, the father to my kids and the man that meant the most to me in life. (Even more that life.) I just want you to know that nothing has changed. You are still my rock in life. And always will be. Your zest for life is what keeps us going.
I am sending my Hugs and Kisses to you. Tell every one up there Hi for all of us. And Hope to see them soon.
Love you Dear. And Happy 6th Anniversary. I Love You and always will.

May the wonderful memories of Adam enlighten your heart always.
Love,
July 23, 2009
Adam we miss you and love you always.
To everyone else give your loved ones an extra kiss and a hug for me. Adam never let us leave the house without giving him a hug and a kiss. He always said you never know when it is the last time you will ever see them. I am glad that he got us onto that so at least we got to say good by to him. Not the way I would have wanted but at least it was something.
I want to take the time to tell everyone that I love you all. Everyone has a special place in my heart.
May God be with you all.

Hello All,
We hope everyone had a fun winter. Either playing in the snow, sun run or both!
We just want to give a heads up on our spring road clean up.
We have marked the date for Saturday, May 30. We hope to "hit the ditch" by noon. If you want to stay for the weekend we would love it. Still no running water, but lots of room in the pole barn for sleeping {its heated}, or bring your tent.
We will be doing sloppy joes, pop, beer and water. You can bring a dish to share if you want and have time.
Any questions give a call. Otherwise hope to see you there and thanks to all wether your there in person or spirit!

Hi all,
We had our first road clean up in memory of Adam on June 17th. Our hearts were touched by all those who were able to attend, especially when we learned we had set the date for Fathers day weekend.
A special thanks to Nate, Stacey and Brent, Lenny and Lori, Mavis, Mark and Eve, and Stan and the kids.
I think a good time was had by all.
Our fall road clean up will be September 20th. Give us a call if you need a place to stay. We have limited room in the cabin, but lots of room for camping or in the "Barn". There are also some hotels near by and we have the #'s for those also. The sauna is up and running for cleaning up if you wish.
If you have time and want bring a dish to share that would be great. We'll provide the beverages and hambergers and hotdogs.
Hope you can make it, but if you can't we know your thoughts are with us. Love Dan, Julie, Jesse and Kelly

I want to thank everyone for the cards, calls, and the prayers that you have sent. There is not a moment in the day that I don't think or talk to Adam. The girls talk about him every night before we go to bed. They tell me memories of their dad or ask questions. Kensley asks a lot of questions about God, Jesus, and Angels. She also asks how dad is doing up there and if he is with us. I tell her all of the time because I can feel him with us all of the time. I tell her he is even with her a school. She still cries very often. She is still daddies little girl.
Love, Lennie and Lori Houle

Here in New Jersey, Adam is thought of often by me and by his cousins Josh and Erik. Though distance prevented them from knowing Adam really well, the time they did spend in Minnesota with Adam allowed them to know right away what he was all about, his sweetness, his mischievousness, his good heart and soul. A picture of Adam hangs in Erik's room. Erik has shared his memories with his friends, they have written a song about him. Adam will always live within us.

Well Saturday was Adams 25th birthday. There are so many different feelings and emotions that you go thru as you figure out how to live without your child.
Julie and I could not have been blessed with two better sons!, but now that Adam is gone, one of the overwhelming feelings I have is to honor him and his memory the best way I possibly can. Its why I knew we had to give him the best memorial service we could. Its why Kelly, Julie and I bought Adam the beautiful headstone, and its why I decided to put this website on for a lifetime. If you have thoughts of Adam maybe you will feel like posting it for everyone to enjoy. I know its hard though.
This year in honor of Adams birthday I have sent in the paper work for adopt a highway in memory of Adam. It is on highway 40, right by the cabin. If we get it, everyone who wants to is invited to help (maybe you want to hide! :) Perhaps a party at the cabin could be mixed in!
Love, Dan

Hay Dad,
You should have seen your daughter tonight at hockey. She did so good. She listend to the couches all night. When she played a game she was going after the puck. Not like normal when she just skates around.
She can shoot a puck along ways but she can't make it go were she wants it to go but with your help she will get there. She just did so good I just had to tell you. I know you were there to see it but I can't help myself I am so proud of her.
Well I will let you get back to what ever you were doing. Say Hi to everyone for me and we will see you soon.
Love you and don't forget to smile for me. I miss those.

It gives me comfort to know one day I will see your beautiful smile and twinkling eyes again. All of my love & more,Mavis. P.S.Does God let you wear those very baggy pants with your wings?

This is a hard time of year for everybody. It seems like Adam has been gone longer than a year.
Adam we miss you so much. The older we get the faster time goes so we will see you soon. We are sure you will have scounted out all the hot spots before we get there. You probably already got the 30-point buck but I am sure there is a 32-pointer.
Adam don't forget today is your Dad's Birthday so send him hugs from above.
Love,

Dear Kelly,
I can't begin to tell you how proud of you we are for being as strong as you are through something so difficult. I look up to you for that because I'm not sure I could be as strong as you are through everything! The best advise I can offer is to pray and have faith that God will heal you and your family in his time. I just want you to know that I think about you alot and pray for your strength often! Adam is an amazing person, probably one of the most gentle and caring people I have ever met! You are so lucky to have him in your life. I love you Kelly!

Happy Birthday Adam! I miss you. I wish that we would have gotten to know eachother better, but when we meet again I know that we will. You are a great guy. We couldn't have asked for a better man to be a husband for Kelly, and a father to those girls. You did a good job with them. Kensley is a spitting image of you, and we wouldn't have it any other way.
Don't have too much fun up there! I miss you. I Love you.

Thank you everyone that has wrote about Adam and shared there memories with us. Adam was our angel. I learned a lot from him. I learned how to become a better wife, mother, and friend. And how to love everyone.
I could always tell when he was thinking about doing something or had been doing something that maybe he shouldn't have.He would have this little smirk on his face and a twinkel in his eyes.
I remember back in collage he had to drive everything wide open (That is how he lived is life) and there was a few times were the teachers had to tell him to slow down. That and by second year no one would ride with him if he was driving. He scared everyone. That and Gary his boss could always tell when Adam was out test driving school equipment because he had to pull the jake brakes on the trucks. See Becker Auto was right across the road from Alex Teck.
He has now pasted his good driving skills down to his daughter. Everything has to be fast as it will go and as loud as it can be.
God Bless everyone and we keep all of you in our prayers.
Love you honey and we miss you. See you soon.
Kelly, Makayla, and Kensley Johnson

We have just experienced our first holiday season without Adam although he was very present in our hearts and minds. Being together is a great comfort because we are so united in our struggle for acceptance of our great loss. Everyone asks how we are doing and I tell them O.K. and some days not so O.K.
Dan and Julie did a wonderful job entertaining 18 of us on Christmas. Christmas morning the family attended mass together which was very special. We are so grateful to have each other and especially Kelly and the girls. We count the many blessings in our lives which include all of the wonderful family and friends that have contributed their thoughts and memories to this site. It has been such a comfort. Dan and Julie continue to check for new messages.
Thank you again and God Bless you in the New Year.

Hello Adam, Merry Christmas in heaven. I pray everything is perfect for you. Kensley said a few weeks ago why God neeeded you in heaven, "because he needed his trucks fixed". I pray you have plenty of time to do the things you love also. Its now been 5 months since you left us and we miss you so much. We're doing ok, but for some of us the daily tears have not slowed much. I can't tell you how much I miss your phone calls and all the weekends we spent together. The places we've been and the places we had planned to go too are very difficult to be at or travel too, but I know someday it will be easier. I can't wait too see you again, but for now " Merry Christmas". I know your soaring with the angels. I love Adam, Dad.

It was an unusally warm Fall this year and the leaves stayed on the trees longer than usual. There is a historical farm where I walk my dog in the mornings it's brimming with "nature" and I can't help of thinking of Adam as I walked with the sun streaming through golden leaves. I was lucky enough to spend some visiting nights at the Johnsons and will always remember Jesse and Adam saying goodnight, even as young men before they left home. Adam would touch his cheek to mine and his warmth would touch my heart like no one else ever has. It is a precious memory I have of Adam and one I can still hold close and keep with me always.

Dan and Julie,
We think about you often and have said lots of prayers. Last night Ian came across a picture of the whole gang at Prairie Lake. Gosh everyone was so young - Ian kept asking where he was - I told him "his spirit hadn't hit the earth yet. But look there - that's Adam - he looks to be about 6 or 7 and a real cutie"- he was holding up his fists by his cheeks with a few fingers of each hand in his mouth but you knew it was Adam - standing next to Sarah and Misty. Julie you were quite stylish in that ruffled denim skirt and Dan you had on your "Faster than a Speeding Bullet" Tshirt with some wild looking shorts - and everybody was smiling. You can see that Adam was trying to giggle but it probably was pretty hard with all those fingers in his mouth. What a beautiful soul!
The 6:15AM mass was said for Adam today at St. Petronille's. Ian and I went. It was a cool morning, a few snowflakes were flying. The church was quiet and beautiful. The advent wreath was out with one candle lit. The pine trees were around the altar, with no lights. A very peaceful morning.The gospel was about fishermen - that Simon was a fisherman, then Jesus called him to become a disciple, a fisher of men, spreading God's word.
Adam was a fishermem as well and God called him away from us for some reason. Now he's watching over you sending his love your way, so keep your heart open!
We love you - take care of yourselves!
Kathy, Ian and John
PS: While I was writing this, Colleen called and she sends her love!

I have wanted to contribute to Adam's site for so long, but words for the present fail me. So, I willshare the memories of a little two year old boy who laid on his tummy for a long time watching ants build their ant hill; of a little four year old boy trying to catch a Robin and his love of the out of doors which only grew more intense as the years passed.
When I heard he pulled a barbecue grill out onto the ice while he ice fished, I thought "what fun". Everything that was fun, Adam could make even better.
I cherish my memories of Adam having lunch with me several times a month and our cribbage games. I remember seeing him walking across a field with the little girl beside him slipping her hand into his - so natural and beautiful to see.
So many wonderful memories of a young man with dancing blue eyes and a perpetual smile. Dan and Julie can be so very proud of the boy they raised with a heart so full of love that it spanned generations - from little children to grandparents.
God bless all and thank you for sharing your memories.

hey johnsons me and my mom were talking the other day about things that adam and i would do and i just thought i would share a couple that julie and dan probably dont know about.
Id imigine you remember when me and adam would go golfing all the time in stacy well first of all adam would always make me drive why i dont know i just did and anyone who knows adam he always wore his steel toe boots well atleast when he got in my car because there would be a new dent in my door every time adam even seen my car. Not that the corsica was much for looks but he definately left his mark there. And i dont know if adam ever told you why we stopped golfing well adam use to always make the best of things even golf and golf carts. yes adam on a golf cart who knows how to make them go fast you would only hope they made seatbelts for those things. well to sum it the golf course employees made the decision golf wasn't our sport.

Dearest Dan and Julie, (& all our families), May today bring peace within you. May you trust in God that Adam is where he is meant to be. I'm sure his wings are just a flapping as he is doing all his angel duties. We have loved ones all around us and we are truly blessed. Thank God for the mercies he has bestowed. I love you all, Mom Adam, we love you.

All the hunters are up at the property. I can't imagine how much Adam is missed this weekend. He was so much fun to hang out with. He took me on my first 4 wheeler ride. After leading me...sideways... through waist high grass... over boulders... fast... he stopped and asked "Hey aunt Mary, you want to go off roading?" I miss that twinkle.
I just want to say how much I enjoy visiting this site, I especially like hearing the memories that make me smile. Thanks for sharing.
Love to all.

I went to high school with adam, and all thru the years "shorty" was always the happiest and smartest kid putting family & school 1st. Prior to the accident, years ago i remember driving all the way to alex; to visit "the boys" back then it was partying, drinking and hanging out. Yrs later I talk to adam @ a party w/kelly he was starting family life getting married & being so happy. Then the worst happen he had it all & then it was all teken away. Adam i'm sorry for that, you deserved everything you had. My sympathy is there w/your family and friends. I'am only ashamed to admit that I never stayed in good contact w/you as now I wish I would have!!! adam is a beautiful person inside & out.
Luv, Mary & my son "gage"

We sure have been thinking about all of you and want you (the Johnsons and Brunsons)to know that you have been in our thoughts and prayers these past weeks. We can only imagine how much you miss Adam... We have been talking a lot lately of all of the memories from hockey, and how Adam would "fly" around that ice like it was nobody's business, making the most unbelievable plays... and, when the boys would go over skating at the park all day and bring their lunches with... Jake holds a special place in his heart for Adam, like he says "we go way back." Just know that we love all of you and you are all very special to us. We will get together very soon. Love, the Houles.

To the entire Johnson Family
It has taken me so long to be able to sign this guest book.Words cannot begin to express the amount of pain we feel for all of you.We are all very fortunate to have had the opportunity to have Adam be a part of our lives as well as Kelly and the beautiful girls.Adam was a wonderful young man and a great friend.The boys had the kind of friendship that one could only hope for.Memories of good times will live on forever in our hearts.Not a day goes by without a thought of how fragile life is.Lives have been spared and lives have been taken too early, and someday we will all meet again to finish the journey we had started.
Our prayers are with you everyday.

We were out-of-town when Adam passed away so were unable to be at his services. We were stunned to hear the news and have so many wonderful memories of him, Dan, Julie and Jesse. We have his picture on our refrigerator that was taken last Christmas--he has an elf hat on as he did every Christmas Eve. Everytime Mark and I look at it we smile because he was always smiling himself. I don't remember a time when he didn't address me by name when I saw him. When I met Julie and Dan I didn't have any kids of my own--or any nieces or nephews--and I was lucky enough to spend a lot of time with the boys. Dan and Julie taught me a lot about being a good parent. They always had so much fun with Adam and Jesse and I learned a lot from them. We will all miss Adam so much but thank you Dan and Julie for having such a wonderful boy for all of us to love!

Hi Everyone,
This is Dan. As I started to write this I quickly realized that if I did not get it on the Internet soon, the August 26th deadline would come and go. As I began writing I soon had over six pages written and have cut it down substantially. But it was still too long so I am going to attempt to submit this in two submissions.
First let me tell everyone thank you. We received so many cards, letters, and well wishes that we can’t believe it. We are very touched by the thoughtfulness of everyone and will respond to you as quickly as we are able.
We were awestruck by all the people that came to Adam’s wake and funeral. We were told after the funeral that the procession was so long that when we arrived at the cemetery, people were still leaving the church to come, some two miles back. With so many friends and family it has really helped through this difficult time.
At the wake I did my best to give Adam a proper eulogy. It went like this … “I want to tell you all something about Adam. From the time he was a little boy, whenever he went away, went to bed, and whenever he called Julie and me, whether for a minute or even just left a message, the last thing he ALWAYS said was “I love you Mom and Dad, good-bye.” Kelly told me the other morning that he had recently woke her during the night and when she asked Adam what he wanted he said, “I could not remember whether or not I told you that I loved you.” That was Adam, so full of love, he worked hard, he had an infectious smile, and he lived for fun. I want to thank Adam and thank God for bringing Kelly, the girls, and the Brunson family into our lives, it has been a blessing. And so if Adam could speak to you now, I know he would tell all of you, I love you, but it would not be good-bye, it would be I’ll see you later.”
Afterwards we played a couple special songs, one for me by Buddy Jewell – “Help Pour Out the Rain,” and one for Kelly by Holly Dunn – “Daddy’s Hands”.
And now, good-bye to you Adam for a while, I will see you again someday my Son, one of my best friends.
Love,
Dad

Part Two…
We would like to thank our spiritual leaders that helped us through this, Father Al of Alexandria, MN – who performed a beautiful service and gave us words of encouragement. Pastor Shawn Etheridge of Garfield, MN for his moral support, Father Tim of Lino Lakes, MN for being there for Adam and for us, and also Reverend Bonchardt – who gave Adam his last rites and has also been there for us in quiet presence, we have yet to meet him.
For a tribute to our loving Son, Husband, Brother, and Friend we are looking into setting up a Scholarship Fund for the Diesel Mechanics program at Alexandria Technical College. If anyone has information that might be helpful as we work on this, please feel free to give a call or send us a note. The same goes if you would like a memorial card.
In closing, thank you all again for all the love and support. Drop in on us sometime if you can and keep us in your prayers for a while.
Love,
Daniel R. Johnson

Dear Dan and Julie,
I just heard the news of your loss.
As you know, I was Adams Hockey coach for many years. He was such a great kid with a fabulous attitude on life. Although Adam was small and stature, he had a huge heart and played like he was 6 foot tall. My deepest sympathy to you Dan, Julie and Jesse. Adam will be greatly missed.

Adam was the happiest little guy that I have ever met. Just seeing the kid smile could make you happy. I used to shoot pool and go snomobiling with Adam back in the day. After he went to Alex to go to college, I didn't really hear much from him. Then a couple years later I hear the kid is getting married. I thought to myself " Shorty? Getting married? Well, that is one lucky girl who ever she is". Then I heard about the accident and didn't what to say. But I know what to say now: "To anyone who is reading this, keep in touch, sometimes it's too late when you realize that you should've called that amazing little guy you used to hang out with".

Dear Family and Friends of Adam:
I am so sorry to hear of the loss of Adam. I grew up four houses down from the Johnson Family and every day after school when walking home Adam would always give a big smile and wave as i parted to my house and he continued on to his. He was a great person who always made the person he was talking to feel like the most important person in the world. Adam was one of a kind and he was loved very much we will all miss him. God Bless You All and my thoughts and prayers are will all who knew this wonderful person.

I was so sadend to hear about your loss of Adam. I remember playin hockey many years with Adam and he was always there to talk to when i was feelin down or just needed to talk to someone. He was a GREAT GREAT kid. I always looked up to him, even though he was a lil shorter than me :) He was the type of kid that was friends with many different groups of people, not just one "clique" and that is why i looked up to him because he was so friendly to everyone. Since the hockey years i havent spoke to him, but when i heard what happened my jaw hit the floor. Adam was an awesome person, he will be missed by my family and I.

Dear Johnsons-
I am so very sorry to hear about the loss of Adam. He was such a nice person and a little teddy bear. I attended his wedding a month ago, and I can't believe how fast God makes plans for people. I am very sorry again and my thoughts and prayers are with you all.

To the Entire Johnson Family,
I cannot begin to tell you how terribly sorry I am to hear of Adams passing. Adam was a very dear friend to both Nathan and Niklas and both my sons love him very much. As I sat tonight staring at Nathan as he slept, I had a very fond memory of a night Adam spent the night at our house. I cant remember exactly how old Adam and Nathan were but Nik was only around four or five. They decided to play ding-dong ditch in our block and Nik went with those two. They would sneak up to a door with Nik in toe, ring the door bell and run and leave Nik standing helpless at the doorstep. Once Nik realized that Adam and Nathan had ran, he would high tail it out of there. I sat on the side of my garage and laughed for hours watching Adam and Nathan laugh at Nik as his little legs tried to keep up with those two. It is a very fond memory I have of my childrens childhood that I will cherish forever and I'm honored that Adam is a part of it. I lift your entire family up in prayer as you all struggle through this difficult time.
God Bless you all,
Dan Peterson

Julie, Dan and Jesse, I am so sorry for the loss of your son Adam, and to you Jesse for the loss of your brother. My prayers are with you and your entire family. Julie, I have cherished our friendship through the years and your Family has always been special in my heart. It is very hard to understand why things happen, but God has the plan. God loves all of you very much and will be with you always. Find comfort that Adam is in Heaven and in the very best place. You will see him again. I know you have great faith and that will sustain you through this very difficult time in your life. I will be there if you need me anytime.
With all my heart, love and prayers, Lisa
