MEQUON, Wis (WSAU-Wheeler News) Mequon high school graduate Quinn Johnson-Harris is remembered as a military hero. A memorial service was held yesterday in Abilene, Texas for the 21-year-old Johnson-Harris. He was one of six Air Force officers and five civilians killed in a C-130 transport plane that crashed last week while taking off from an air field in Afghanistan. Unknown numbers of people on the ground were also killed.
Johnson-Harris graduated from Homestead High School in Mequon in 2012. He trained at Dyess Air Force Base in Texas before his deployment to Afghanistan last month. His father, Lamar Harris, told those at the service that his son was doing what he wanted to do — and he was a “hero” for it.
Army Second Lieutenant Lamar Johnson-Harris says his brother made the Air Force his life, and he was passionate in doing so.
