According to court documents filed by Salt Lake County prosecutors, Johnson broke into the Butterfield home in the early hours of April 18.<br />

<div>&#8216;Tony helped many people with employment and often joked with family members that we should quit our jobs and work for him.

&#8216;Tony worked hard for his family and had already taught his children the value of working,&#8217; Hurst said. &#8216;He never spoiled the kids and never had to. They knew how much their daddy loved them, because he was always there for a hug and a kiss, or to be goofy with them.&#8217;</div>
