Tylor Johnson lived a life fueled by passion and purpose. As a third-generation aerial applicator, he soared above the landscapes he loved, dedicated to both the craft of flying and the vital role of supporting agriculture.
Tragically, Tylor’s life was cut short in a devastating accident when his plane struck a guy wire during a routine flight. It was a harsh reminder of the dangers faced by aerial applicators every day. In the wake of this tragedy, the Tylor Johnson Legacy Foundation was established to honor Tylor’s memory which advocates for increased safety measures that protect other pilots and continues his legacy of care and commitment to the industry.
The Annual Tylor Johnson Memorial Golf Tournament honors his legacy by bringing people together for a day that mirrors his love for both the game of golf and the people in his life.

A Legacy of Giving:
Thanks to the strong support shown over the past two years’ tournaments, the Tylor Johnson Legacy Foundation fully funded the wire safety courses at the NAAA Ag Aviation Expo, allowing aerial applicators from across the country to attend at no cost. By eliminating financial barriers, this effort helped ensure pilots had access to critical training focused on wire awareness—one of the greatest safety challenges in aerial application.
