Obituary for Zachary and Taylor Johnson Zachary Robert Johnson, 8, and his brother, Taylor Steven Johnson, 5, died, along with their grandmother as the result of a car accident on July 14, 2018.

Together they dominated the video game scene at their house, although who was better at each game depended on the day.
