Very, very sad. Took his own life at his home in South Florida. Thoughts go out to his family, friends, & anyone else close to him.

Lord Jesus! Bless and cover his family. This is terrible.

Is it just me or is more and more of this type of stuff happening. Maybe it’s just that when it does happen, we are made aware, through the internet. RIP to him and prayers with his family.

It's always been a problem man.

Hell, one of .my roomies at Tech killed himself. (No you do not get a 4.0) Been almost 3 decades and to this day nobody knows why.

RIP Mr Johnson

Hate to hear this. Men's mental health is at an all time low. Check on your brothers.

Terrible. Hate to see anyone be in this state of mind and feel so hopeless.

Damn, I hate to hear news like that. Someone who had his whole life ahead of him cut short. And before the Holidays. May he rest in peace and remember his family in our thoughts and prayers.

Very sad story. He went to high school at Miami Southridge with my daughter and they were friends. I remember my daughter was so excited to tell me he signed with Tennessee out of HS

Prayers lifted to heaven for family and friends. VFL.

Exactly. Men, if we have to talk to someone, talk to someone. We can't bottle it up. Expressing emotion is not weakness, actually it takes more strength to show emotion.

Very sad news,I will send prayers for his family!

 

[bpalmer28]

Idk what happened. Praying for his friends and family.

So very sad to hear this. Suicide is not the answer. The things it does to those who love you are unacceptable. It destroys them as well. Life is constant change. The bad times do not last. If you or a friend is contemplating suicide, please get help. Talk to someone.

 

[VOL931]

So sorry for his family, friends and for what he endured. This is
