There should have been more chapters in Brogan Johnston's life story but it ended too soon. He passed away at age 16 on April 9, 2019.

Brogan Johnston was just an all-around good kid and his passing will leave a hole that is impossible to fill. He was born in Casper, Wyoming on October 24, 2002 to Mark P. and Liza Johnston. Brogan attended Central High School in Rapid City, South Dakota and served proudly in the ROTC, enjoyed PT days and dodge ball. He was a patriot and had a strong devotion to his country. Brogan had several unforgettable traits: he was fun-loving with a sweet smile and a kind heart. He had an appreciation for quirky videos and memes and enjoyed sharing laughs with those around him. Brogan also proudly worked in his family's business, Sergeant Poppers Kettle Korn and Lemonade. He played a huge role in its growth and success. In fact, many of their customers knew him as the "best little salesman" and he was a whiz at making kettle corn. He spent many hours serving those in need and was always willing to help in any way he could. He absolutely loved and adored all of his brothers and sisters and loved being a big brother to his younger siblings. He enjoyed music and cherished being with friends, especially his very best friend, his younger brother Kambel.

Brogan is preceded in death by his cousin Lucas Johnston, his great-grandmother Jerri Burton, who was a huge part of Brogan's life, and Mark Howe.

Brogan is survived by his parents, Mark and Liza Johnston of Piedmont, his siblings,

Celeste (Joe) Bond of Wasilla, Alaska, Candice (Chris) Howe of Casper, Wyoming, Mark (Kamille) Johnston of West Haven, Utah, Kelsey (Daniel) Mason of Wasilla, Alaska, and Kelton, Kambel, Raquel and Beck of Piedmont, maternal grandparents Denese and Barry Gouger of Tensleep, Wyoming, Ricardo Hernandez Cabellero of Lincolnwood, Illinois, and paternal grandparents Donna and Phil Johnston of Casper, Wyoming. He also has numerous nieces, nephews, cousins, aunts, uncles and other step family. He was loved by so many.

Though Brogan's story in this life has concluded, we know more chapters are being written on the other side where he will be helping to further God's work.
