I can't even begin to comprehend the depth of grief young Tims' beautiful wife, family and friends are experiencing. from such an unimaginable loss....
I can only hope my young sons will grow up with the same kind and generous spirit Tim had...He didn't just rescue animals....He *rescued* people as well...
My family offers our deepest condolences...

All the pilots who put their lives on the line to help with animal and human rescues are of a very special breed.

We have all lost a hero.

The loss of Tim Johnson was a true tragedy. His dedication to Pilots N Paws will most certainly be missed. Tim was a true hero to the families that were blessed by his kindness. The lawyers at Peretz Chesal & Herrmann, P.L. extend their deepest sympathies to Tim's family, especially their dear colleague, Tim's loving wife Carly.
