Lord God of unfailing love, to those families in our beloved nation, the United States of America, who are suffering in the wake of the loss of a law enforcement family member, help us to provide support. Allow us to be their rock and fortress in a time of immense pain and uncertainty. Help us to keep them safe and nourished in their time of grief, suffering beside them as we move toward healing and reconciliation. Lord God, in Your compassionate mercy, hear my prayer. In Christ Jesus, Your beloved Son, and by His authority, I pray. Amen.

It takes a strong man to serve 15 years in correctionals, then go into policing. He and his family did not deserve this. My heart goes out to the Johnson family.

„Proszę przyjmijcie wyrazy najszczerszego 
współczucia i żalu.
Wiem że nikt i nic nie wypełni już tej luki 
w Waszych sercach,
lecz pamiętajcie że nie umiera ten 
kto trwa w pamięci bliskich. 
Przeznaczenie odebrało Cię 
zbyt szybko rodzinie i przyjaciołom,
ale nigdy nie odbierze Cię 
naszej pamięci i naszym sercom.”

Joe,
I was on shift just across the bridge when all hell broke loose and our dispatch didn't send us to help you. We were stuck on our side of the river trying to run down leads to find the POS that was responsible. I already miss our conversations on the bridge when we helped each other on calls.

Your funeral was well represented. We have Officers from all over the West. The procession from CCSO to TVCC was over 4 miles long and when we brought you back to Nyssa we had the entire Highway covered from Ontario to Nyssa. It was awesome to see all the people lined up to show support for your sacrifice.

God speed brother we have your shift covered. Rest easy my friend we will miss you.

Corporal Johnson, our world is full of evil people, and yet, for many years, you dedicated your life to protecting others that they may be safe. Our Lord, who sees all and knows all, will reward you abundantly for your courage, dedication and selfless service. My heart breaks for the sorrow that your loved ones are experiencing. May God immerse you and them in His Divine Mercy. Rest in peace, good and faithful servant.

The true measure of a person
is not found in the
might of their arm,
their wealth
or their power –
it is found in the strength
of their character.

There is no greater testimony to
ones character, than ones
willingness to sacrifice all,
in the noble quest of
providing protection to all
whom they serve.

A sad day for Oregonians. Praying for his family. Gratitude to him and all public protectors. Rest Peacefully, Sir. My husband and I were driving west from Ontario to Pendleton, and saw 10 police / sheriff vehicles, lights flashing, heading towards Ontario. We knew immediately that Reserve Corporal Johnson was being honored, by his family in blue. God Bless You ALL!!!
