Kevin Johnson was a paramedic with Moshannon Valley Emergency Medical Services in Philipsburg, PA. He was also a good friend of ours.
On June 15, 2001, at the young at of 29, Kevin died of a heart attack!
Kevin was a great person and a good friend. He was the medic on a lot of our calls. When you spend 2-3 hours on a call with someone you tend to get to know them.
He was engaged to the lovely Christi Crooks, with whom who resided in Irishtown, near Grampian.
Kevin also had a truck maintenance business which he operated. He told me, on the last call we were on together, that business was going so well, he had to hire help.
Below is the official Obituary as it was printed in The Progress on Saturday, June 16, 2001.

Kevin had an incredible crowd. We waited in line for one hour to get into the funeral home, and when we left, the line was nearly a block long. Kevin had a lot of friends, who are all just as shocked as I am.
We will never forget Kevin or his talents!
