Christal Rain Johnson's Obituary
Christal Rain Johnson, born February 11, 2001 at 7:55 am. Youngest of three daughters survived by Cori Reneé and Cameron Rae and born to Rosemary and Dolan Johnson.
Christal was educated in the Tacoma and Puyallup school districts. From the start Chris displayed a passion for running. She went from crawling to running with her sisters close behind ~ and they became The Catchers. Chris had an untapped energy source that never seemed to deplete. This led to her participation in gymnastics, mixed martial arts, basketball, volleyball and then her sweet spot for running. She participated in 7th grade track at Aylen, after the first week of practice the coaches noticed Christal’s talent and passion for running. After practice they invited her in for pizza. I am not sure what excited her most running or the pizza!
Christal was a diamond with many facets, she loved reading and always had a list of the next book series she wanted to read. Chris’s consuming passion for reading could not be maintained on a single budget so off to the library and second-hand book store to feed her love of the written language. Her reading inspired her wild imagination that allowed her to form her thoughts into beautiful stories on paper. Chris’s passion for Anime was inspirational for taking Japanese and speaking “Proper” English. She started playing the violin in 4th grade, loved to create costumes with her friends and being outdoors.
The best thing about Christal was her presence. Her bright beautiful smile would energize any room. Her infectious laughter, goofy antics and intentional awkward movements would make you laugh in an instance. Christal was a best friend to many, confidant, mentor, fierce competitor, humble athlete, state champion women’s 400 meter dash 2018, little sister, loving daughter, and inspiration to all that loved her. Madre and Padre love you beyond words. Rest in Peace my sweet Rainy girl.
Loving Christal Rain Johnson forever.
