Johnson’s family released a statement on his death:
“Words cannot adequately describe the type of person Chris was and the influence he had on those he encountered. A true Godly servant who was devoted to his family, friends, the police force, and the communities in which he has served. He loved all the faculty, staff and children at Highland Middle School.”
His children describe him as a superhero, humble, hardworking, and selfless: “To know Chris was to love Chris; and we, along with the community, have suffered an immense loss. The family would like to extend their sincere gratitude to Sheriff Wayne Coats, the Harnett County Sheriff’s Department and its deputies, and to all Emergency Responders. Thank you is simply not enough.”
