I will always remember meeting your beautiful children at Jeff's Funeral my love to"

I will remember Mike as a great leader, friend & confidant.  He loved to help others & provided support, guidance or a helping hand whenever you needed one. More than anything else, I will miss his smile & his infectious laugh. He could turn any dark cloud with that laugh. Mike left a lasting impression on many lives & he will be missed."

God Bless,  Chris"

Mike was such a positive person and I feel so lucky to have known him."

He was a special friend and will not be forgotten."

Love Always, Ashley Keene Graham and Family"

"Mike was the life of every neighborhoodl party. No one was without a corona in hand and a good story to hear whether about the kids, the spitfire or his next project.  He and Pam together changed my parents lives forever with their love and wonderful friendship.  He had great lessons in his stories and I see so much of him in the strong young adults Sean and Lauren have become. Love to all"

"My thoughts and prayers are with the Johnston Family in this difficult time. If there is anything my family or I can do please let me know. May God bless you all."

"I can't begin to adequately express my sympathy to Pam, Sean & Lauren on Mike's passing. I got to know Mike at VYH in Roanoke and while others would stand back and say what needed to happen, Mike was the one that would step up and take action. He was a great coach to those kids when they needed it most, and his contribution to their lives won't be forgotten. He will be missed!"

"I will always remember how mike drove Sean and I around because neither of us could drive yet, but I think I will remember his laugh most of all. His laugh could make you smile. My thoughts and prayers are with the Johnston family. If you all need anything please let me know.
Love Meredith"
