Funeral Set For ​Tripp Joseph Johnson, 7, Killed In Bel Air Crash

Tripp Joseph Johnson passed away on March 11, 2019. He was 7 years old.

Born in Baltimore, he was the son of Megan Eileen Fulleylove of Forest Hill and Travis Scott Johnson of Edgewood.

In addition to his parents, he is survived by his grandparents Debbie and Raymond Johnson Jr. and Jean Fulleylove; great-grandparents Patricia Johnson and Doris Miller; aunts and uncles Raymond Johnson III, Heather Johnson, Matthew Fulleylove and Michael Loux; cousins Avery Johnson, Josephine Fulleylove and Roland Loux; and many great aunts and uncles, extended family members and friends.

He was preceded in death by grandfather Joseph Fulleylove III and great-grandfathers Raymond Johnson Sr. and Carl Miller, according to his obituary.

Tripp was a student at William Paca/Old Post Road Elementary School, where he participated in the Patriot Program. He also played football for the Joppatowne Seahawks, Fallston lacrosse and Emmorton basketball and was a fan of playing Call of Duty and chess.

He was killed in a 12-car crash on MD 24 at Ring Factory Road that also took the life of ShopRite owner Andrew Klein.

At the time of the crash, Tripp was in a car with his mother, Megan Fulleylove, according to the GoFundMe page to help with her care and the child's funeral expenses. Fulleylove was rushed to the University of Maryland Shock Trauma Center in stable yet critical condition.

There was a prayer service at Prince of Peace Church in Edgewood on Tuesday, March 19, for the families of both Tripp's father and his mother. Tripp had been a student in the Faith Formation program and was set to receive his First Holy Communion this spring, church officials reported.

Approximately 150 people were at the service, including Tripp's father, Travis Johnson, The Aegis reported. Since the boy's mother was hospitalized and needed multiple surgeries after the crash, the family held off on scheduling his funeral service until she would be able to attend.

Her condition had improved from critical to fair, the University of Maryland Shock Trauma Center told Fox 45 on Thursday, March 21.
