In a heartfelt tribute to a fallen comrade, the Coppell Police Department gathered to honor Officer Johns, whose life was abruptly ended in a motorcycle accident some 23 years ago while on duty. Last Saturday, the department united in a CrossFit workout and a shared meal of pancakes and Coke, taking a moment to remember the officer known for his unique breakfast choice.

The local Sandy Lake CrossFit graciously hosted the event, where fellow officers and friends reminisced about Johns' unwavering dedication and affable spirit. According to the Coppell Police Department, it was revealed that "Officer Johns tragically died in a motorcycle accident while on duty in December 2001. Those who worked with him still fondly recall his love for pancakes and a Coke for breakfast." Echoes of his legacy continue to be a present force within the precinct, with both his picture and a remembrance chair stationed in the main hallway serving as a daily reminder of their lost friend.

A mixture of sentiment and camaraderie filled the air as the "FD family" came together. The Coppell Police Department's post captured the spirit of the gathering: "It was a wonderful day. We thank our FD family for joining us this morning.". Assuredly, the remembrance of Officer Johns will continue to influence the department for years to come, instilling a sense of unity and reflection on the deep bonds formed in the line of duty.
