2 great boys!!!!

two of my friends passed away in an avalanche up in the logan area on christmas eve morning. it still doesnt seem real. shocking. when things like this happen it really makes you think. i knew both boys but was closer to one of them then the other. (im not at my computer, so i had to use pictures that were online)
Jesse Ryan Johnson (23) and Erik Randall Jorgensen (22)- or as i would call him Erik "Rambo"
-these boys loved everything outdoors.
You both were greatly loved and will be missed by all

i consider erik my best guy friend. i just visited him 2 weeks ago. i took him and his wife christmas goodies. i was so happy to see him. he gives the best hugs.

Erik and his gorgeous wife Casey. i remember erik first telling me that he was in love with casey. and about how he was nervous to ask her dad for permission to marry her.


erik and i at his wedding reception

- erik was studying to be a pharmacist and he was extremely studious. i would always run into him at the library and we would chat. i loved it.


erik and casey got married in august in the logan temple.
- my heart is very heavy at this time for casey. i cant even begin to imagine what she is going through. this is a loss for all but nothing compared to the loss of her one and only.


jesse, jason, and erik on halloween a few years back

- these boys were such fun loving individuals. ive known erik since freshmen year of college and met jesse the following year. so goofy. and full of energy


a group of us after an aggie basketball game

- jami and i would hang out at eriks apartment, which jesse was usually there, pretty much everyday sophmore year.


having fun

- i ran into erik and his wife the first week of school at movie on the quad, i was having a hard time with some things. and i just cried in his arms. he was always there when you needed him.

jami, erik, and i

erik, i love you! i thank you for your friendship.

- these times are hard but we know that these boys would not want us to be so negative and sad. they would want us to be positive, happy, and talk about our memoirs with one another.

-my prayers are with the families at this tragic time.

just remember to be greatful for everything- don't take anything for granted.

This is so nice, Jami.

I'm glad you did this post so we could get to know about their lives a little more.

Thinking of you!
