Joshua (better known as Josh) was born in Charlottesville, Virginia, on November 29, 2004 to his loving parents, Jennifer Jones and Aaron Johnson.

Josh recently completed his sophomore year at William Monroe High School, Stanardsville, Va. While attending grade school he always made the honor roll and was eventually deemed a gifted academic student with a strong aptitude in mathematics. Josh began playing football at a young age for the Waynesboro Little Giants where he discovered his true talents and passion for the sport. He went on to attend Greene County Public Schools where he continued to play football and eventually played as a Center for the high school basketball team. Joshua was a rising star as a running back for their Dragon football team and was a force to be reckoned with while on the field. Aside from being a great athlete, Josh worked his summers off from school as an employee for D&D Lawn Care and helped his father painting houses.

Josh was an active teenager who loved music, swimming, fishing, hunting, family vacations, and pretty much everything the outdoors had to offer. He was able to bring joy to others and had an energy that left a mark on the lives of those who knew him. He was adored and loved by his friends, teammates, cousins, relatives and especially his siblings.

Tyler was a 2017 graduate of William Monroe High School where he played football all four years and was a Captain his Senior year. He also swam for the high school swim team all four years where he was a two-time state qualifier and a Captain his Senior year. Additionally, he played youth football growing up for numerous teams in Central Virginia. He was a longtime swimmer for the Battlefield Area Star Swimmers (B.A.S.S) and Greene Hills Swim Team at the Greene Hills Club where he also lifeguarded and junior coached. He especially enjoyed mentoring the little ones while in high school and college. After high school Tyler attended Shenandoah University where he played football for them, and then Liberty University. Tyler was employed by Lifecare Medical Transport where he was a Corporal and well respected by his colleagues for his leadership, compassion, empathy, integrity and dedication.

Tyler will be remembered fondly by all that knew him for his ability to light up a room with his bigger than life personality and smile. He never missed an opportunity to give one of his big bear hugs and tell you he loved you. He had a sense of humor like no one else and loved to laugh even if it was at himself. Tyler had many special qualities that have been shared with the family over the last few days. Qualities that include patience, a caring and compassionate heart, politeness, well-mannered and respectful, selflessness, kindness, sense of humor, easy going and fun loving. Tyler truly loved life, just like all of those in his life loved him. His life brought us so much joy, but his absence will forever leave a hole in our hearts and a void that neither time nor space will ever heal. Tyler never liked telling those he loved goodbye, so in Tyler's words "it's not goodbye, it's I'll see you later."

Also surviving Craig are his little second cousins whom he loved dearly, Davien Griffieth, Savannah Griffieth, Genevieve Lofland and Ja'Dyn Lofland.Craig was a lifelong active athlete, playing various sports at William Monroe High School, from which he just graduated. His first love was football, and he was an outstanding Defensive End for the Monroe Dragons. In his senior year he was named First Team All-District, and Second Team All-Conference. His heart and passion burned ALIVE on the football field! Although he'd graduated and played his last season as a Dragon, he will be greatly missed by Head Coach Jon Rocha and the rest of the coaching staff, especially Kris Wimmer and Jeffrey Nave. His former teammates and friends will miss him tremendously, including Mark Williamson, Jeff Early, Satchel Knight, Nick Loscuito, Alex Deleon, Justin Knight, Josh Oliver, and his very best friend, Cody Perkins. These outstanding young men were the best of teenage friends.Craig had recently been accepted to the Virginia Military Institute; he had worked hard to earn a spot on the Rat Line and become a Cadet of the Class of 2019.Craig's life seems too short to many, but those who were touched by him understand that the quality of existence far exceeds the quantity of time in which one lives. Craig touched many lives and was loved by many. With his passing, we must remember that his life is one to be celebrated. Craig was one-of-a-kind, and though we will miss him every day, especially his winning smile, he will forever remain in our hearts.

April 7, 2020, in Charlottesville, Va. He was preceded in death by his aunt, Brenda Shifflett; great-grandparents, Otis and Gertrude Morris, and Winfred and Elizabeth Wyant; great-grandma, Matnell Lyles; and great uncle, Wayne Morris. He is survived by his loving parents, Philip and Donna Morris. In addition to his parents, Blake is survived by his siblings, Allison Morris McCaughan (Logan) of Stanardsville, and Tye Joseph Morris of Ruckersville; nephew, Henry Jackson McCaughan; his "Granddaddy" and "Grandma", Bobby and Betty Jo Shifflett of Ruckersville; "Grandpa", Julius Morris (Tina) of Ruckersville; "Nannie", Peggy Dettor (Jimmy) of Stanardsville; aunts and uncles, Karen and Lance Long of Ruckersville, and Robbie and Katherine Morris of Charlottesville; cousins, Lance Long (Amanda) of Richmond, Dylan Long (Therese) of Charlottesville, Luke, Sophie, Ava and Zac Morris of Charlottesville, Kim Steljes (Denny) of Charlottesville, Robin Clore (Sammy) of Stanardsville; Peter Morris (Lisa) of Ruckersville, and Melissa Estes (Jimmy) of Stanardsville; and a special cousin so dear to Blake, Kris Janezic of Charlottesville. He is also survived by a large family of aunts, uncles and cousins and many friends. We love you all and Blake loves you. To know Blake was to love him. From the time of his birth on March 26, 1997 to his death on Tuesday, Blake was our beautiful, blue-eyed baby boy, our Super Man who could do anything. He was a big boy, with an even bigger heart and we called him our Baby-Giant. His heart was so tender that he could only see the good in people. Blake graduated in 2015 from William Monroe High School and attended Radford University when he decided that he preferred to work with his Dad in the family business. He worked extremely hard for his parents and could do most anything in the least amount of time welding, hitch installations, auto repair and driving a forklift. From an early age, we knew he was mechanically inclined when he used his baby bottle to extend his reach to turn on the light switch. Blake was just naturally good at everything: video games; billiards; youth and high school sports; racing; and he recently took up golf. He would beat you at whatever it was and feel bad about it, but not enough to let you win! Blake was awarded the 2019 NASCAR top 500 Certificate for his 390th place in the U.S. and Canada for his rookie year at Dominion Raceway in Thornburg, Va. Blake's mission in life was to always entertain and make us laugh. He loved music and listened to Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings and Kenny Rogers. He was so funny and talented with his impersonations, rapping and magic shows. He wanted to help people and it just came naturally for him to want to brighten your day. That's our Blake. Blake was a member of Mountain View Chapel and supported numerous community missions, as well as two mission trips to the Dominican Republican. Blake was baptized in Madison, Va. on November 2, 2008 when he was 11 years old. The first bible verse that he learned in AWANA was "God is Love"; how appropriate for our boy who loved everyone. The family would like to thank the staff at UVA hospital for Blake's care and the many friends and family who have prayed and reached out to us in support. For our precious son, brother, grandson, nephew, cousin and friend: "You have won the race, now enjoy the victory".
