Cohnway Matthew Johnson

I live in Yoakum Texas.  Cohnway was like a brother to me and a best friend anyone could have.  He will be truly missed by his fellow friends and by our Bar-B-Que Team.( Smoke Eaters Bar-B-Que)  He truly touched many people during his life.  He will be forever in my heart and deeply missed.. Cohnway, God Bless my Brother and love ya!!!!

I am Cohnways older brother, we had 26 wonderful years together. We also had many, many good times together that will never be forgotten. My profile image was probably one of the best, the arrival of his Nephew, Sterling.

Brother it's not your turn to go. I ask myself why? But still I don't know. You came to our fire house, Brought laughter and good cheer. You became a friend throughout the years. When I heard you had collapsed after that 4 mile run. I just knew you would bounce back, Like the rays from the sun. However you did win the race, To pick and choose, Your firehouse place. The scars on your body, Tell a story to all. What kind of man you have become, I know everyone saw. Like the burnt circles on your arm, It showed so well, How brave you were, When you got burned and said - oh hell? But you knew the girls would like the story, Of your new scars, Your pride and glory. I still don't understand why you're gone, But we will do our best to move on. One thing is for sure You will never be forgotten, We love and miss you, Firefighter Cohnway Johnson. By: Stacy Kubin

Cohnway is and always will be a true brother of mine. I worked with Cohnway in Oak Hill starting as a fellow fire fighter and ending up as his Captain. I know that we will never be able to replace him and my heart goes out to Candy and Mike. Our loss of Cohnway will be felt for many years to come.
