To my VA family I send out my arms of love around the family with healing blessings. I totally understand your grief. I'm going to miss my buddy a lot/the times we spoke about football/cookouts daddy inviting me over so he could burn my PITTSBURGH STEELER gear! He would laugh/smile he was a joy to see all the time. I know he touched a lot of people's hearts. From Military Family (I served as well) Hooah!!!! Now go and serve for our. Father as you did for this country/this time without pain.
Joaquin was one of a kind. So many good memories made with him, he was always there when you needed a friend. Our condolences to his family, he will be sorely missed.
You are going to be so missed Popcorn. We loved your spirit, your laughter and your kindness. You always had an amazing personality and never met a stranger. Everyone loved you. You always gave everyone a hug and shared a laugh with them. God has definitely gained a special Angel. Rest easy my friend and may God comfort your family. 🙏
My heart is absolutely broken for the Johnson family. I was absolutely devastated to hear this news while being so many miles away. This man was a huge part of my childhood, with countless memories around him and his family. You were a one of a kind guy, who always brought smiles and laughs. Thank you for always being kind and being a good friend. I will absolutely never forget you Joaquin.

To Berwyn & Family, I'm So Sorry to hear about Joaquin's passing, it shocked me. I remember him as one of the Nicest kids I've ever met( I think he was 10 or 11 when you brought him to the mall) & he was Such a Polite & Well mannered kid,& I have to say, the last time I saw & spoke with him, he was Still that same Well mannered person, he certainly Never Changed, You & his Mom really did a great job in raising him. You Can be Proud of the Young Man he was, I just know there were a lot of people who thought the world of him. My Prayers are With You & Your Family at this time & in the days ahead. I pray that God Will give you & your Family Much Comfort in the days ahead.
