Skylar "Skiller" Alan Johnson, 18, of Ammon, died January 30, 2008, at his home of heart related issues.

He was born January 23, 1990, in Salt Lake City, Utah, to Alan R. Johnson and Janice Harper Johnson. At the age of 6 months, the family moved to Pocatello for a short time before moving to Ammon.

Skylar was a senior at Hillcrest High School and had already earned many college credits through Idaho State University. He had been accepted at Utah State University and BYU-Idaho to continue his education after graduation. At Hillcrest, he ran cross country, participated in "Fright Line", and was a member of the Hillcrest Chorale.

Skylar worked at Idaho Cleaning Maintenance, Eagle Rock Blasting, and Aeropostle.

He loved life and both played hard and worked hard. He enjoyed snowboarding, snowmobiling, camping, jet skiing, "digging" in his Jeep, basketball and music. Skylar was an accomplished pianist, loved to sing and spend time with his friends and family!

He was a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and loved his Heavenly Father. He had achieved the rank of Eagle Scout. He held many leadership positions in his priesthood quorums and scouting. He was diligently preparing to serve a mission on earth but was called home early to serve there. He was very close to his Grandpa Harper and we are comforted knowing they are together now.

Skylar was a very loving, giving, and tender-hearted person and will be dearly missed by his family and many, many, friends.

He is survived by the following: parents, Alan and Janice Harper Johnson; a brother, Ian Johnson; a sister, Amanda Johnson all of Ammon; paternal grandparents, Val and Louise Johnson of Merced, California; and numerous aunts, uncles, and cousins.

He was preceded in death by his maternal grandparents, Cecil and Zina Harper.
