I am sorry to have to share the sad news, but…Chris "CJ" Johnson SKyPAC’s Technical Director, passed away last weekend (more information below). He loved SKyPAC and loved working with everyone to make SKyPAC’s stages function. His goal was to serve the needs of the community and the artists as well as SKyPAC. Please feel free to share your thoughts and memories of CJ with us as we decide how to best honor and remember our friend and team member.
Thank you for your thoughts and prayers.

Christopher Brian Johnson
Christopher Brian Johnson, 51, passed away unexpectedly on Sunday May 27, 2013 in Burlington, NC. He was born in Kalamazoo, MI on October 23, 1961 to Edward W. and Linda W. (Wood) Johnson II.
He was a 1980 graduate of Apex High School and attended NC Wesleyan College in Rocky Mount NC. Chris, CJ as he was known to friends and coworkers, worked for most of his professional career in the theatrical industry. He enjoyed acting early on in his career, but what he found most rewarding was the designing and building of sets for each production. He worked with many of the theatrical companies in the Raleigh area, Theatre in the Park, North Carolina Theater and Raleigh Little Theatre as well with production companies that toured in Europe and South America. Chris was currently employed as the Production Manager/Technical Director for the Southern Kentucky Performing Arts Center (SKyPAC) in Bowling Green, KY.
Chris is survived by his brother, Bill Johnson (Vickie), and sister, Jill Griffin (Jim), three nephews and one niece, as well as many friends in the Raleigh area and across the nation. Supporting and acknowledging Chris’s love for animals, in lieu of flowers, donations can be made in Chris’s memory to Wake County SPCA. A private family service will be held at a later date.
