It is with deep sorrow and heavy hearts that we announce the unexpected passing of Sophia Grace Johnson, age 9, and her younger brother, Jett Michael Hernandez, age 3, of LaRue, TX, on Thursday, October 24, 2024.

Born on October 15, 2015, Sophia was the beloved daughter of Trevor Don Johnson, of Waxahachie, TX, and Kaleigh Grace Johnson, of LaRue, TX. She was the cherished granddaughter of Kelly and Ronda Johnson (paternal), of Waxahachie, Tim Johnson (maternal), of Waxahachie, TX, and Geoff and Jenny Wesson (maternal), of LaRue, TX. She was also survived by her great-grandparents, Mary Johnson (paternal), of Duncanville, TX, Karen Bruns (maternal) of Kerens, TX and Randy Johnson (maternal) of Texas City, TX. In addition to her parents and grandparents, Sophia leaves behind her adoring brother, Channing Johnson, along with a close-knit family of aunts, uncles and cousins who will forever hold her memory dear. She is survived by Aunt Amber Johnson, of Austin, TX, Aunt Skylar Johnson, of Red Oak, TX, and Uncle Josh Wesson, of Milford, TX, and her future stepmother, Victoria Wells, of Waxahachie, TX. Her cousins, Ava Bright and Jade Stephens, of Waxahachie, Drue, Tyce and Kase Hood of Red Oak, TX, Gavin and Veronica Bruns of Waxahachie, TX, and Olive Bruns of Austin, TX, will all miss her greatly.

Sophia was a third-grade student at LaPoyner Elementary in LaRue, Texas, where she was known for her loving nature, her adventurous spirit, and her loyalty to her friends. Her Heart was as big as her smile, and her vibrant red curls and infectious laughter brightened every room she entered.

Sophia had a wide range of interests and passions. She loved softball, basketball, swimming, video games, music and mac-and-cheese. She had an insatiable appetite for life, always eager to explore the outdoors and make new discoveries. Sophia was known for her love of animals big and small and had a special connection with all living things.

Above all, Sophia was a devoted and caring sister. She had a special bond with both of her brothers, Channing and Jett, and was always patient, protective and full of love for them.

While we can no longer see Sophia with our eyes or touch her with our hands, we will carry her memory in our hearts forevermore. She will always be our bright star in the sky, our joy in every moment, and our love in all things.

Sophia Grace Johnson-we love you to the moon and back, always and forever.
