I quite often think about you and your family welcoming three swedish kids into your home when we stayed for two weeks in the USA. It was the experience of a lifetime and the warmth and love felt from you and your family made us feel both safe and seen. You truly are and inspirational man and even though it was only a small part of our lives you have had a positive impact on mine.

Coach Johnson, as we light this candle today, we honour the life and legacy of your father. The light and warmth this flame brings is a reminder of the love, guidance, and values he passed down to you, values that you show us every single day as our coach. Though he is no longer here in person, his strength lives on through you and the lives you touch. We stand with you and your family in this time of sorrow, keeping his memory and your family in our thoughts and hearts. GOD BLESS YOU The Stewart's

This is so sad! Jimmy was a great person who was supportive of everyone! He was kind and respectful to everyone. He was a great little athlete and a good teammate. I love all the Johnson family! Stu, he thought the world of you and what you’ve accomplished already! He was so proud. I just wish I could give you all a huge hug. ❤️

My sincere condolences to the Johnson family on the loss of Jim.

Jimmy and I were friends from our days at First Bank. Had great times golfing and cutting wood. Heart felt condolences to Necie and family.

I was fortunate to coach his son in college and Jim was always supportive and kind. Long after I left Indiana he followed my life and career from afar and continued to offer encouragement along the way. As authentic as they come and I’m fortunate to have met Jim and his family. Rest in peace.
