He was working as a meteorologist at WCSH in Portland, Maine after his time in Jacksonville.
Police in Auburn, Maine were searching for him after he was reported missing Monday.
Police said he left his Old Orchard Beach home early Saturday morning to attend a function at Sunday River Ski Resort.
A missing person report was filed after he never returned home from the trip.
His body was found Thursday and police said they are investigating his death as a suicide.
Many Action News Jax team members and viewers are sharing their fond memories of Johnston.
