I knew Sterling since Middle school. We also attended high school together at MLEC. Even just thinking of him brings a smile to my face. He was always so witty and had a come back to everything. He loved going to Chilis Restaurant and just having a good time. I remember nick naming him Sterling Silver which he wasn't too fond of and just to annoy him I would call him that sometimes. He always found a way to return the favor. Im comforted to know that we all share the same hope and soon we will all see our dear brother again. To the Johnson family may Jehovah continue to comfort you all while Sterling sleeps just a little while. Because we know Paradise is just around the corner.

What I will always remember about Sterling, is the day I asked him to be a groomsman in my wedding. He was surprised and excited at the same time. He turned to Jwade Jr and asked could he do it and Jwade Jr said it was ok. He then hugged me and said he would. His enthusiasm and humorwas infectious. There are numerous other memories I have of Sterling but that’s my favorite. 

Sterling, myself and few other brothers used to go out to eat one Saturday out of the month. Sterling always provided the group with plenty of laughs.

Just seeing him there with a big smile on his face and interacting with everyone was my fondest memories. I'm retired now but those memories of Sterling, I will miss and treasure forever!!! 

I can picture him with Grandad. Always by his side.
Love has no boundaries.
It grows as a tiny seed
Uniting hearts in the lives of many
And connecting individuals into one big family
The hurt affects us all, but the LOVE shared
Will sustain us now and throughout eternity
In Paradise, he will call and we will all answer.
Stay strong with Jehovah's Love.
I LOVE YOU ALL.

Jwade our hearts go out to you and family, our love and deepest sympathy. Through tears we fondly remember our little brother so full of joy and enthusiasm in serving our Father and His people. Vauntea fondly remembers at each assembly he stopped by to talk "shop" with her about her Ford diesel F350 dually. Look forward to sure hope of many more happy moments in the new world to come. We thank our Father for that hope. "Hope is a fire in our heart, hope is an anchor to hold us firm, hope is a light that shines like the sun as we see ourselves there in the new world to come."

I will always remember when Sterling, my uncle and I would meet up at Chili’s watch some sporting games, eat and just hang out and talk. See you in paradise lil brother!!

One of my loveliest memories of Sterling is when he attended our PAL summer camp. Playing basketball with him was funnnnny if you know what I mean. He also had a passion for food chicken wings. He love wing stop chicken wings....

In 2006 we were on a circuit assembly together Brother Jamieson gave the part about young ones in the circuit who were doing good spiritually. Sterling was a good friend always look forward to seeing  him at assembly and conventions always a smile a joke or  slick comment He was really a sweet person always fun to be around.
  Definitely will miss him can't wait until we meet again and Paradise 

Sterling said he was hungry every time you saw him no matter what time of day. He always wanted to know what was for dinner and what time it would be ready. He will be truly missed, hopefully we’ll have a dinner in Paradise.

One of my fondest memories of Sterling was joking about "what's for dinner" in the parking lot after meetings on Sunday. Sterling never showed up to my home, but I know that he knew that he was always welcomed.  Even now, just thinking about his humor makes me smile...
