Chris "Juice" Johnson Dies

[Ray Finkle]

Surprised nobody has mentioned this. Very sad

 

[oxrageous]

Never heard of him, but indeed it's sad.

 

[Ray Finkle]

He was one of our DBs. Played mostly special teams. Transferred out the same time as Brissett. Recovering a fumble punt and taking it to the one against USCe in 2012 was probably his most memorable play for us

RIP Juice man..

That's awful how did he die? He was a local kid from Ocala

Apparent suicide. Awful.

Apparent suicide. Awful.

Well damn. That really sucks.

I think he had drug issues when he transferred. Has the feel of Avery Atkins.

 

[EuroGator]

Wow. I remember him and always hoped he could have translated his athleticism (and great nickname) into an electric playmaker for the good-guys. I'm sad to hear the news and I'm sure his family and friends are devastated. Terrible news. Still, I'm grateful for Ray and the others who posted.

 

[TN G8tr]

Terrible. Too Sad and too young.

 

[dubster1]

Where did he play? I feel like it was Vanguard.

R.I.P Chris!

Where did he play? I feel like it was Vanguard.

I don't remember but it's wherever Nattiel was coaching.

edit: Trinity.

:( @onlygators: Sad to note that a medical examiner determined that Chris Johnson died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound - http://bit.ly/18cOmJY

 

[Jabberdave]

I don't remember but it's whereever Nattiel is coaching.

Trinity Catholic, but he isn't there anymore. Don't know if he's picked up a gig anywhere else.

I could have sworn he went to Vanguard. All those Ocala schools look alike.
