Jason,
You are still forever missed homie . I pray you are resting easy up there . This year , I wanted to ask you to hug my Nana up there for me . Give her a big dap for me and tell her how much I love her. I know y’all are up there enjoying Gods sweet sweet presence. We miss you more and more as each year passes. We will forever love you Jay
Love you to eternity when we all meet up again.

It completely amazes me that to this day...4 years an angel...5 birthdays in Heaven and you still are soooo missed and have obviously touched the heart of so many people that they still talk about you and the void that is left by not having you in their lives in the "earthly" sense. I know you are with us; I know you are at peace...but I miss those BEAR hugs more than I can ever explain in words...so "listen to my heart" baby boy...it is crying for you xoxo

Happy birthday in heaven Jason❤️ I know you were watching us and hopefully whispering to God to please watch over Nic and I a little extra during this time .We still to this day talk about you in our household with the boys and even though Nic is not with us anymore I pray you were watching over him and all that he does in life. You were his best friend and he talked about you the most highly he loved you so much Jason. Nic was a true friend to you! We love you always and forever Jay

You would have been 31 today...you left us a little over 3 years ago; some days it feels like yesterday; and other days it feels like forever - to say you are missed just doesn't cover what is truly in my heart...to say you are loved - doesn't seem like enough; so without the right words to express my feelings...I will just say that until I can hold you in my arms again; I will hold you in my heart...forever my baby boy <3 Mama Dukes

Laying a flower because in one of the first conversations we had, you randomly asked me, "If you were a flower which one would you be?" And I told you a sunflower. Since then, from special occasions to "just because it's Thursday," In your words, you've given me sunflowers.
Never told you, but they're my favorite because no matter how much you shift a sunflower away from the sun, they always find a way to turn back to the light. So thankful that your life and the memories we hold of you are a bright light we can turn to when pain shifts our hearts to grief.
Forever missed. Forever loved.

I recall a birthday celebration for one of my kids where the Johnsons were over, which they often were celebrating one occasion or another. On this particular day, my youngest son wanted me to pierce his ears. As an add on, Jay asked if I would do his too. We had a bucket of ice, potatoes and sewing needles lined up in a bathroom with the boys taking their turns getting stabbed. He spent the night with us that night and I was able to check for infection the next day. Turned out to be a great night all around.

There's a popular theory that God cultivates artists at the age of 27. Jiminy Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison Kurt Cobain and now Jason Johnson. It's a loss that is very real, a pain that is very sharp. He left us with his words, powerful, moving and inpirational. He did not live a full life but he lived his life fully. I will not have a day go by where that void is unnoticed, but his grace and love will remain always.

I'm sorry to say I didn't get to see J.J. grow up, but I can see from all the loving posts and words that he grew up to be an amazing young man. In my eyes, he is that little mischevious boy with the devilish grin. He is the sweet little tough guy that could take down someone twice his size. He is the the boy who could melt your heart with his eyes and a smile. We got to share several family vacations together, I am truly grateful we had those times together. Happy Birthday in heaven J.J. Watch over your family and guide them through this very difficult time.
