This week has been Hell. No other way I can describe it. A coach, a boss, a mentor, and a very close friend is gone. Coach Charles Johnson did so much in my life even after high school and football. Coach, you’ll be so missed by so many. Rest easy. #RIPCJ #OnceAHuskyAlwaysAHusky pic.twitter.com/5Yz8885SNa
