Announcements
Ben requested no formal burial or ceremony. We had a small family gathering on Saturday September 28th.
If you would like to send something in lieu of flowers, you can mail a Chipotle gift card to: The Johnsons, PO Box 44, Dorr MI 49323.
At this point we know that Ben was killed in a collision with a car while riding his motorcycle on a country road close to home shortly after 7pm on Thursday September 26th. The police report is not available (as of December 2013 the collision is still under investigation). Informal articles seem to conclude that an inattentive driver pulled in front of Ben to cause the crash. We have no further information.
