We, as members of the law enforcement family, experince and share with your tragic loss of Trooper Johnson. We, too, have known of this same kind of tragedy and understand what a difficult period of time this is for all of you.

Sgt Johnson laid down his life, so others would be safe. Your husband, your brother, your father, your son, your friend, your co-worker....he died a hero and we are all thankful for his sacrifice.

The gates of Heaven are safer now..........

If I could catch a rainbow, I would do it just for you (family of Sgt. Michael Johnson), and share with you it's beauty on days you're feeling blue. If I could build a mountain you could call your very own--a place to find serenity, a place to be alone, I'd do it just for you.

Words do not come easy at a time like this. My family extends our deepest symathy during this tragic time.....This is such a terrible loss !

God Bless

Mike Johnson was the kind of person who had a smile for everyone. I had the pleasure of having known him and his family for over a decade now. I have seen him as an exhuberant father playing with his children, a loving husband dancing with his wife at my wedding, a proud coach cheering on his team, and a devoted officer of the law. I still can't believe that this man who was once so full of life is no longer with us. My thoughts are with Kerrie and the kids. Mike was one in a million and will never be forgotten.

May Sergeant Johnson rest in peace. His services will be greatly missed to all of us in the state of Vermont. And may justice be served quickly and harshly in this event. No one should suffer this loss. To Sergeant Johnsons family always remember your father, son, brother, husband died doing a job I'm sure he loved on a day he should've been home with his family. And he died a true HERO!!!!!!

When I was a cashier at Bradford Mini Mart in Bradford VT, I was always happy to see Sgt. Johnson come in, and say hello to everyone, someone that always had a smile on his face, and just a particularly nice person.
Thanks for putting your life on the line, to make everyone else safe within the state of Vermont.

You have chosen a path in life most would not travel. Your duty came first, but you are not alone. Brother and sister officers have fallen before you. They are waiting to guide you on your next journey. You will be missed and not forgotten.

Mike Johnson was a wonderful person. A devoted father, loving husband to his wife, and a dedicated officer to his troop station. Mike was also a figure in our community that will never be forgotten or matched. Whether he was on the job or on the field coaching youth sports, Mike always had a smile. Mike was truly everyones best friend. Mike will be sadly missed but never forgotten.
