Navy Hospital Corpsman 3rd Class Johnson was assigned to Naval Medical Center, Third Marine Division Detachment, San Diego, California. Johnson was killed in combat when shrapnel from a grenade hit him in the head while he tended a wounded soldier. Michael graduated from Parkview High School in Little Rock, Arkansas and earned a degree from the University of Central Arkansas in Conway. He had worked at the Marine Corps Recruiting Depot since June 2001, helping oversee the health care of thousands of recruits. He had recently written his mother saying that he would be all right but if he were killed he would be in heaven with God. Michael was a boisterous but serious and deeply religious man who sang hymns in his tent in Kuwait and wrote home often to comfort his worried mother.
He is survived by his wife, Cherice N. Johnson, his mother, Jana Norfleet (Floyd) of Little Rock, Arkansas, father; Michael Vann Johnson Sr (Judy) of North Little Rock, five sisters; Janisa Hooks (Marichal) of North Little Rock, Carri Jones (Christopher), of Little Rock, Myekia Johnson, Mykenaia Johnson, and Myeekedra Johnson, all of North Little Rock, two brothers Michaunn Johnson of North Little Rock, and Jarvis Michael Johnson of North Little Rock, along with five nephews, three nieces, and a host of relatives and friends.
