On March 3, 2015, an angel was sent from Heaven named Colton Blake Johnson. Colton was in his first surgery six hours after his birth. The surgeon said he would probably not live 24 hours. The strong little angel survived that surgery and several more in his short life. He was a very loving person with one of the brightest personalities I have ever known. He spent most of his life in the Cincinnati Children’s Hospital in Cincinnati, Ohio and kept the nurses and staff on their toe’s with walks and playing with him. He was very smart for his age and talked so well. His favorite things were the movies, Frozen, How to Train Your Dragon 1 & 2 and Tarzan. He loved his grandma, Patty, his nurse, Becky and his walks outside with Rob. Colton was such a special little angel and every person he came in contact with was touched by him. Colton Blake will be greatly missed and never ever forgotten. Colton passed away on Saturday June 17, 2017, at the Cincinnati Children’s Hospital in Cincinnati, Ohio.
