Death of former Illawarra police officer Steven ‘Jonno’ Johnson shocks community

The Illawarra police community is mourning the sudden loss of a well-loved and respected senior community-based cop.

Chief Inspector Steven “Jonno” Johnson, formerly of Lake Illawarra and the Shoalhaven commands died unexpectedly on Tuesday.

“Jonno will be very much missed by everyone he knew,” a long-time colleague told the Mercury.

"On

“He was one of those quirky people who would always put a smile on your face by one of his many stories or passions that he was involved with,” the police officer said.

“I don’t think people realise the amount of work he did for the Aboriginal community, for conservation with his fishing and general community causes. He had a strong passion for fishing and if anyone showed a slight inkling of interest he would have them straight on his boat and take them out.

“Jonno was one of those people who got more satisfaction from doing things for others than for himself.”

"Top

Tributes are flowing on Facebook for the 47-year-old officer being remembered “as a legendary and inspirational man”.

Senior Constable Koz Ismail, who worked with Jonno at Lake Illawarra and has produced a video tribute, said his colleague was “a man of endless empathy”.

( see video above )

“He worked for the community, he was an endless supporter of the youth and indigenous youth.

“He was passionate to the case of youth mental health, always put the community and his peers first before himself.

“He was a loving family man, a selfless community man and police officer.”

  • RIP Jonno! Seriously you could not have met a nicer bloke. I was in class 241 with him and had the pleasure of knowing him as a friend and caught up occassionly over the years in the job. Funnily nothing changed but him loosing hair! He was still the loveliest felllow and so passionate, never short on a story, so larger than life and quirky being so gueniue and friendly. I was so sadden hearing of his death all these years later and so disappointed I missed his final send off. Here is a police class photo from our passing out parade book.

  • I had the privilege of working with Steve on a some Aboriginal community-based programs. He had a huge commitment to the Aboriginal community and wider community in general. He gave all to the NSWPF but I think the NSWPF fell short in their support of Steve. I was at the Entertainment Centre at Nowra to say goodbye to Steve and the place was packed with police and community alike which reflected the esteem in which Steve Johnson was held. RIP Steve, hope I catch up with you again.
