Loving Johnny

“I’ve needed to take some time to collect myself and my thoughts,” Joy began an Instagram post. “I was with Johnny in his last moments and I’m here to be his voice after such unimaginable events. His story is in this post as it happened, please swipe through the top photos and read it.

“Johnny had this incredible ability that was truly just his genuine nature – to make anyone and everyone feel so special in his eyes,” Joy wrote. “No matter how well you knew him, he treated everyone like he truly cared about you. He lit up any room – you couldn’t not smile around him. His energy was magnetic and pulled you in so effortlessly – you were safe with him.

“He treated everyone with love, respect, compassion and he really ‘saw’ you,” Joy continues. “He was beautiful, goofy as hell, full of work ethic and values, he never put people down, even when joking, he never made you feel unsure of yourself – he knew how to be hilarious in such a positive way and it just made him that much more lovable. It just filled your heart to be around him.

“He called me ‘Anita Bonita’ and I hope the stamp of his voice saying that every time I saw him never leaves my memory. Just one look into his big blue eyes, followed by a big goofy grin, Johnny made you love him instantly,” she says. “Absolutely one of the best men I’ve ever known. I’m so grateful to have been a part of his world and him, mine.

“My heart is shattered with his loss, but I believe l have gained the best guardian Angel out there,” Joy says. “I love you Johnny Wacky.

“These criminals need to be caught – Level 8 needs to provide parking for their late hour staff as they originally promised,” Wactor’s friend implored. “This cannot be something that isn’t responded to with action, it needs to be addressed in a manner to prevent anything like this ever happening again to the best of their ability – Level 8 needs to contribute to Johnny’s family to honor and respect him for all the hard work and effort he did for them.

“If you can contribute to his family, please do – they are on the other side of the country and it’s going to be a lot on them emotionally and financially to get Johnny home to them,” Joy says. “His GoFund Me link is in my bio.”

Parry Shen (Brad) responded to Joy’s heartfelt post. “I’m so sorry you both had to go through this and are forever connected in this way,” Shen shared. “But at the same time glad he was with a friend during his final moments.”
