Crystal Johnson

Crystal Johnson lives in Atlanta, Georgia with her husband, Dan, and their three youngest children. She was a recent Aleksander Fund scholarship recipient to Jennifer Pastiloff’s “On Being Human” retreat in Italy in September 2018. She lost her two oldest sons, Deacon and Garrett, as they traveled back to college the weekend of Thanksgiving 2017. They were the victims of a head-on collision with a wrong-way driver. They were also incredible young men and the best big brothers on the planet and are missed every second of every day. Crystal writes to inspire others who have experienced extreme loss and to bring a little light into the darkness. For more of their story, feel free to follow Crystal on Instagram: @7poppies.
