Statement from the Family of Trent Johnson Who Perished in Lake Tulloch Plane Crash

Modesto, CA…The following is from Bill Zoslocki…”As a close friend of the Johnson family, and former student of the widow’s father, Dave Mesenhimer, I’ve been asked to provide the following statement regarding her husband’s tragic plane accident. This will be the only statement from the family for now. Trent Johnson had a passion for flying. Since he was a little boy he dreamed of flying, eventually getting his pilot’s license, and marrying into a family who also loved to fly.

Trent died on Sunday, Father’s Day, while doing something that gave him such great joy. “Our three boys and I are deeply grieving,” said Trent’s wife, Sarah Mesenhimer-Johnson. Right now we are dealing with a sudden and yet repeated tragedy. Never would we have imagined that the boy’s beloved father would be taken from us 13 years after
their grandfather – my dad – died in the same manner.”

The family appreciates the prayers and support from their friends, but ask for the consideration and respect of privacy until details of a service can be worked out.”
