He was such an athletic, friendly and personable young man and he will be greatly missed. We will keep you in our thoughts and prayers. Dave, Jane, Brandon and Taylor Johnson
Dear Doug & Maggie – We wanted to tell you thank you so much for sharing your son with us these past few years. He was an amazing, wonderful, beautiful person (and certainly a reflection of his parents). We will never forget him and will cherish his memory and the impact he left on us. There is a quote that goes, ‘What we have once enjoyed, we can never lose. All that we love deeply becomes part of us.’ We certainly feel that is true of your son. He has become part of us and we are grateful to have had the chance to know him.
My serious condolences. Michael was one of my classmates.
My thoughts and prayers.

Maggie and Doug. I just heard about Michael today. I’m very sorry for your loss. I’ll keep you in my thoughts and prayers.
From one mother to another, from one parent to another, I can’t imagine your pain. Michael was a very sweet young man and was a best friend to my nephew Brandon for many years. I remember when he came to Tennessee with Brandon and Seth and spent the night at my house, he made us all laugh half the night. You could just see that he was raised to be respectful and kind. I thank God for Michael and his time hear on earth and for all the lives he touched with his big heart. He will be missed by so many. May God wrap you all in his arms and give you a peace only He can.
Dear Margaret,Doug,and Katie, I just wanted to let you know that all of f us are thinking of you all and praying for all of you that God will give you the strength to help you get through this. I miss you lots Margaret and I wish I could be there for you!! Love you very much,
