As a former collegue/windsurfing buddy of Johan I'm all deeply touched by this tragedy. My thought are with his family and his girlfriend Kanoe. I'll miss you so much, Johan!

Niclas - cousin of Johans
Johan: I was always impressed by the way you "lived" your hobbies. I'm so sad that you had to leave earth so early, but you will remain in our memories as a positive person who was always full of life.

I just heard the news about Johan from Jennifer and was referred to windlines by a member. I appreciate having a venue to share in our collective grief. I am in shock and so very, very sad. JOY

To Johan's "paragliding family" - I just wanted to thank you all from the bottom of my heart for making Johan feel a part of a very "special" family here in Hawaii.

Kanoe - Johan's girlfriend
To Johan's family in Sweden: I know none of you know who I am (knowing Johan :>)), but he did tell me all about you. I justed wanted to tell you all how deeply sorry I am for your loss.

Karin - a Swedish friend
Johan was so full of life, which makes it hard to believe he's gone. He would often pop up on our computers creen for a chat and bring us some Hawaiian sunshine and adventure. We will miss him so much.

We just met Johan 2 weeks ago at Makapuu. He was a good ambassador for Sweden. Our thoughts and aloha on the Big island are with Johan's family and friends.

Tobias - old friend
I will always remember our great adventures together - in Sweden and on Hawaii. It is truly some of the best moments of my life. Johan, I miss you so much.

R.B. Seiple
Johan may the wind carry you aloft for eternity. I'll always remember our sail to Copenhagen, Thai lunches, and the baseball game just last week. Your smile was always as wide as you are tall.

Barbara G
RB, You said it best.."Johan's smile was always as wide as he is tall." Everyone who knew Johan, knows how true that statement is! Johan, thank you for the gift of your friendship.

Martin - Old friend
I was in a shock when my friend Tobias reported about his death. We spoke and laughed nearly every day on msn. Last time i was in contact with him was the day before the tragic accident. I miss you so

JOY
Alex, Peter & all HPA:Thank you for organizing the memorial & sharing this forum! So many of us needed this time to grieve & be connected to others who cared for Johan too. Fly safe! JOY

madeleine ströje
Kära Lisbeth and Andreas, I remember Johan as a boy always longing to go in the water, swimming in the salt of the ocean. Evidently he found his paradise, first in Hawaii and now in flying. We await him in Sweden and will always be there for Lisbeth and Andreas
