In a statement issued by Johnson's brother Shawn, the family wrote how devoted Sheldon, 50, was to them.
"Sergeant Sheldon Johnson CD was a loving father to three beautiful children, two surviving, who are missing him terribly and one angel in heaven he is now cuddling."
They describe Johnson "as a caring, wonderful brother," and friend.
"He was a member of (the) Canadian Forces for 21 years, always thinking about others before himself. His life was cut way too short, he had so much more love to give," the statement read.
The family also expressed warm thoughts for Gadong-Gleyo, telling CTV that "she was a beautiful loving person. We are hoping she has a speedy recovery."
