Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Honoring “KJ” on the five-year anniversary of his line of duty death. As classmates in patrol school, I had the pleasure of knowing KJ, his dorm room was diagonally across from mine. His room was the center place for us to gather. Those who knew him will miss KJ and he will live on in the hearts of everyone who loved him. May GOD continue to wrap his arms around the Johnson family and comfort them with his peace.

Jeff As we watched Nicholas graduate last night, we know you were there with us. He stood tall and poised. I know you are proud to see your fellow officers and friends stand proud with the family to see your son graduate. It was a very proud and sad night knowing you weren't there. As we pray everyday I know you are looking down on all of us with a smile. We miss you so much and know one day we will meet again. You would have fussed at Ash for crying for watching her brother take that leap of growth. We as a family will always love and miss you no matter how many years go by. You will be forever in our hearts.

Remembering Corp. Johnson on the three year anniversary of his line of duty death. Your family is in our prayers. I'm sure today brought back some very difficult and sad memories for them. Rest peacefully, and may your family (especially your brother who has posted here) find peace and comfort soon.

The policeman stood and faced his God, which must always come to pass. He hoped his shoes were shinning just as brightly as his brass.
"Step foward now, policeman. How shall I deal with you? Have you always turned the other cheek? To My church have you been true?"
The policeman squared his shoulders and said, "No lord. I gues I ain't. Because those of us who carry badges, can't always be a saint."
I've had to work most Sundays and at time my talk was rough... and sometimes I've been violent because the strees are awful tough."
"But I never took a penny, that wasn't mine to keep... though I worked a lot of overtime when the bills got just to step."
"And I never passed a cry for help, though at time I shook with fear. And sometimes, God forgive me, I wept unmanly tears."
"I know I don't deserve a place mong the people here. They never wanted me around except to calm their fear."
"If you have a place for me here, Lord it needn't be so grand. I never expected or had to much, But if you don't... I'll understand."
There was a silence all around the throne, where the saints had often trod, as the policeman waited quietly for the judgment of his God.
"Step foward now, policeman. You've borne your burdens well. Come walk the beat on Heavens strees. You've done your time in hell."

God Bless you Sir and keep your family safe. It's good to know that the Justice system does its part in South Carolina to those that cowardly take the life of others before the fight becomes fair. May God Bless the entire State of South Carolina (Law Enforcement Officers) and its Courts.

I had the honor of knowing Cpl. Jeff Johnson for my whole EMS career. I started at Berkeley County EMS around the same time Cpl. Johnson started with the SC Highway Patrol. I ran many calls with Jeff and he was always the one to make a joke and make everyone laugh. I want to thank Cpl. Johnson for the ultimate sacrifice that he made his family and all of his fellow brothers. I had the unfortunate experience of being at the hospital on that fateful night, and not a dry eye in the place. You were a hero in everyone's eye's. Rest in peace in your kingdom in the sky. GOD BLESS. You are and always will be a great hero.

Trooper Johnson, you stopped me for speeding on I-26 not long before this happened. I appreciate you chewing me out in lieu of a ticket that day; now I'm a police officer and understand what you did day in and day out. Thank you for your sacrifice.

At the beginning of every shift I supervise, myself and the other officers on shift dedicate the day to the memory of a fallen officer.

Tonight, July 7, 2004 we dedicated the shift to the memory of Cpl. Kenneth Jeffrey Johnson who died in the line of duty on this date two years ago.

When one law enforcement officer falls we all stumble for a while, but we will carry on.

Cpl. Johnson's sacrifice will never be forgotten.

I stop by this website often after losing two very dear friends with the NCSHP (Troopers Calvin Taylor E.O.W. October 3, 2001 and Anthony Cogdill E.O.W. May 30, 2003).

We grieve for all those who lost their lives in the line of duty. God Bless the troopers, officers and deputies that continue to serve their communities of this great nation.

My thoughts and prayers go out to the family and friends of Corporal Johnson.

For the families, friends, loved ones, and fellow officers of Trooper Johnson,
I have had you in my prayers since I heard of the shooting. I never had the chance to meet Jeff Johnson- as Gene called him. But from what I have heard and read over the last year he was quite an outstanding man. I remember the day of the funeral, my boyfriend called me as they were driving from the service to the burial. He was in tears and in awe of the people who showed there support on the side of the road as the drove to the cemetary.
I slightly remember the way people were when we had the service for my boyfriend, Deputy Gene Wright II of the Berkeley County Sheriff's Office, they pulled over and got out of their cars with their hands on their hearts and a few with tears in their eyes. I remembered then the way Gene sounded when he called in July on the same type of drive for a fellow officer, for Cpl. Johnson. I have found a lot of help and support from fellow survivors during my time of loss. I hope you have found the same support.

My prayers, thoughts, and hugs go out to all of you,
