	IN HONOR OF DAVID JOHNSON Andrew and Laura Johnson and their children Michael, Matthew and Emily would like to honor their son and brother David with the following official statement: "We are very proud of our son. He is a hero. He first was a man of God. He has been a strong leader at Mayville High School, at Evangel University and to the men in his unit. David had no fear of adversity; he lived life to the fullest. There are no regrets. He is an American hero. We love him very much and miss him very much." Part of a letter from LTC (Ret) Kirby A. Hanson, who was David's ROTC Commander in Springfield. "David was an outstanding cadet in every aspect of military training…He was destined to serve in the Infantry and I was certain he would excel…Aside from the Army life, David was a kind, well mannered, fun young man." Joint Base Lewis-McChord Public Affairs Office Release	David A. Johnson 1LT U.S. Army Obituary

Our hearts are full of sadness for the loss of such a young man. And at the same time they are booming from the pride we have for that man
for doing what most of us never could. David was a family member, a friend, a neighbor, a classmate and a jokester. On top of that, he was a soldier,
who put service to his countrymen before fulfilling life plans, in the most honorable way possible.

Please keep the family in your thoughts and prayers.
