Tribute to Misty Sheldon
- August 30, 2025
The Chris “CJ” Johnson Foundation mourns the passing of Misty Sheldon on August 10, 2025. Earlier this year, Misty experienced the heartbreaking loss of her beautiful daughter, Elvie, who passed away in January at only 13 years old after bravely battling renal medullary carcinoma (RMC).
Misty was a woman of remarkable strength and resilience. Even through her own grief, she remained deeply committed to honoring Elvie’s memory by raising awareness and advocating for change within the RMC community. Her compassion, determination, and courage left an indelible mark on all who had the privilege of knowing her.
Our hearts are heavy as we grieve the loss of both Misty and Elvie. Their love and light will continue to inspire us as we push forward in our mission to support families, raise awareness, and work toward finding a cure for RMC.
The RMC community is truly saddened, but we remain forever grateful for Misty’s voice, her strength, and her dedication to making a difference.
