Mike and Diane Johnson, owners of ALL WEAPONS PLUS, located at Decatur and Lake Mead, have lost their son Joshua.

Josh was 30 years old and died in his sleep last Friday.

Mike and Diane have been dear, personal friends of mine for almost 10 years. Those who know Mike and Diane know that their shop is a place where a stranger can stop in and be treated like family even if he doesn't buy anything.... and then be welcomed back. Mike and Diane are just those kinda folks.

Mike and Diane set the example of how all gun dealers (and human beings) should be.

My condolences and sympathies go out to the family.

Josh will be sorely missed.

Be Safe.

Joe

Wow, what a sudden a tragic loss of someone so young. Although I didn't know him, he went to the same HS I went to, and I think I was the 3rd or 4th class to graduate from there, so he wasn't much older than I.

My prayers for the good family, losing a sibling remains a tragedy. (BT,DT)

Ironically, for absolutely no reason whatsoever, today I remembered a young woman unnecessarily and tragically lost about 20 yrs ago. When that struck me I considered contacting her family and note remembering her; then realized it may best be a wound left untouched. Still, I'm proud to remember those friends no longer extant........miss some of them dearly.

Does'nt anybody know what happen to  his son??  Please email me.  I'll take some flowers and a card over this week.  He has always been good to me and my kids.

Mike is absolutely one of the last kind and caring dealers in this town. His is a small shop and the prices aren't the cheapest, but I try to buy some little item whenever I visit. He once did me a 'smithing favor, and I in turn was able to assist him some months later with a problem one of his daughters ran into. This is a good man, and I will make a point of paying him a visit to express my regrets. Thanks for letting us know about his regrettable family situation.
