Remembering

Christopher Johnson

On February 24, 2011 Christopher Davis Johnson (AKA) Country Gravy was taken suddenly from our lives by a man that shot and killed him.My cousin Chris was a fun loving carefree guy, he is missed by a very large and close family that loved to have gatherings often together. Family was very important to him and he would make sure he was at each and every one of them. Chris was one of eight children and many aunts uncles, cousins, nieces and nephews so you can imagine everyone gathering together at times such as Christmas, Thanksgiving, weddings or any other reasons we would all get together. It is so heart breaking that such a great guy was taken from not only his family but also the immense amount of his close friends so suddenly and at such an early age. Someone who was not suppose to be drinking or have guns in his possession, took this action upon himself without any concern or regard for his actions that would not only end Chris’s life but take away moments and times that everyone else will no longer get to spend with him.Every month on the date of his death I write on his facebook page, I guess that is my way of trying to heal. But do you ever heal from something like this? Chris was not just some guy. He was not a troublemaker; He was the light of any gathering or event, or even just sitting around with him, You would hear his stories, his jokes, or even his tall tales and laugh and roll your eyes at his ability to look at life and made no short attempt to not enjoy every moment of it no matter what was going on or what was handed to him.Chris’s sister just had her first baby, He would have been the first of our family members to jump on a flight and do whatever he had to do just to be there. Chris was stripped of ever having that.One thing I do know is Christopher Davis Johnson will never be forgotten and is thought of by not only me but I know many others everyday. He was that big of a presence in all of our lives.

We love and miss you everyday.

Your Loving cousin Carri Lea Williams
