Sgt. Sheldon Johnson, 50, of Kingston, Ont., was a member of the 5th Canadian Division with 20 years of service, the military confirmed in a statement offering condolences to Johnson’s colleagues, family and friends.Shawn Johnson wrote in a statement on behalf of the grieving family that his brother’s life was cut too short. He described his brother as “a loving father to three beautiful children — two surviving who are missing him terribly, and one angel in heaven he is now cuddling.
He remembered Sheldon Johnson as “devoted to his family, a caring wonderful brother, a friend,” and someone “always thinking about others before himself.” “His life was cut way too short, he had so much more love to give,” the brother wrote. “He will be truly missed.” Canadian Armed Forces spokesman Capt. Matt Zalot said Johnson was a vehicle technician — a mechanic who maintained equipment for 21 Electronic Warfare Regiment, based at CFB Kingston. The military’s statement said it is offering support to Johnson’s family “during this exceedingly difficult time.”
Provincial police and other authorities were back at the resort Tuesday, about 105 kilometres northwest of Montreal, scouring the mountainside site of the crash that also left Johnson’s partner in critical condition.Sign up to receive daily headline news from the Calgary Herald, a division of Postmedia Network Inc.By clicking on the sign up button you consent to receive the above newsletter from Postmedia Network Inc.
