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 Detective Senior Constable Kelly Mason

Thank you for your service, devotion & loyalty. Condolences to Joshua, family, friends and the Thin Blue Line.

Heaven gained another angel

The beautiful Detective Senior Constable Kelly Mason (Hagan) has lost her very courageous battle with cancer.

Kelly commenced operational duties with the Queensland Police Service in 2008 where she was assigned first year duties within the Ipswich Police District.

Kel finished her first year where she was tenured to the Goodna Police Station. After Goodna, Kel completing her tenure at Goodna Station – Kelly transferred to Springfield Police Station on it’s opening before obtaining a position with the Ipswich Child Protection Investigation Unit where she gained a reputation as a lead investigator with dogged determination and gained the admiration of many officers who would often come to her for advice and help.

Kel obtained her Detectives appointment (which is no easy task); whilst on the Detective Training Program Kel met her best friend and soul mate Josh Mason.

Kel then moved on to the beautiful Sunshine Coast to be with Josh and she continued to work as a Detective within the Noosa Child Protection Investigation Unit where she could continue her passion of helping others.

Kel married her soul mate Joshua Mason on the 12th of March 2016.

As Kel and Josh began to set a life together fate stepped in and showed her hand.

Beautiful Kel was diagnosed with rare form of cervical cancer in November 2017.

Kel fought the good fight and never once let her situation bring her down, as sick as she was she made the most of life living every minute for her family and her friends which meant the world to her.

Kel was always know for her beautiful smile, kind soul and gentle nature. the mark that she has left in this world will never be forgotten.

Funeral Service information for Kelly Mason.

The funeral will be held this Friday the 4th of May at 2pm at the Lifepointe Baptist Church located at 186 Wises Road, Buderim, Sunshine Coast.

This will be an open public funeral with Police tribute.
